Lilies are one of the easiest flowers to grow
and care for that we have ever grown. With just a minimum of attention you
can produce some of the most flamboyant showoffs in your garden. With new
varieties being developed every year the only colour so far that they do
not come in is blue.
They have a wide range of blooming times so planted
accordingly you can have different lilies blooming from June to September.
There have been different discussions on planting times but we have planted
in the fall and in the spring and both have been successful. Our lilies
grow and flourish in Zone 4 and our soil is a sandy loam.
The
Lily Farm is open for visitors
from the first of May until the end of September
< 9 AM - 5 PM - Saturday & Sunday ONLY > SHOP ONLINE AT ANY TIME!
The Lily Farm will be at its height of bloom at the end of July and the beginning of August. Customers are welcome to bring your camera and a picnic lunch and enjoy your visit. We will be pleased to answer questions or help with your gardening needs in any way can.
