About Asiatic Lily Flower Bulbs (Red)

The Asiatic Lily (Red) brings bold, vibrant red blooms to Indian gardens and pots. Easy to grow and adaptable across many Indian climates, it makes a striking focal point in flower beds, borders, or containers.

How to Plant

1. Choose a sunny spot that gets at least 6 hours of full sunlight daily (afternoon shade helps in hot regions).
2. Prepare the soil by loosening it to 12-15 cm depth and mixing in organic compost for good drainage.
3. Plant the bulb 10-12 cm deep, pointed end facing up, spacing bulbs about 15 cm apart.
4. Water thoroughly right after planting and keep the soil evenly moist during establishment.

Light, Water & Soil

• Light: Full sunlight, at least 6 hours daily; partial afternoon shade in very hot regions.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; water more during dry spells.
• Soil: Well-drained soil enriched with organic compost; slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.5-7.0).
• Temperature: Thrives between 20°C-30°C; ensure good drainage during monsoon to prevent waterlogging.

Planting Season & Blooming

Best planted between February and April in most parts of India. Blooms typically appear 60-90 days after planting, depending on care and climate; can tolerate partial shade in hotter regions during peak summer.

Care & Pruning

• Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer (such as NPK 10-10-10) during the growing season.
• Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plant to conserve moisture and protect roots from heat.
• Watch for aphids; treat with neem oil or an organic pest repellent if seen.
