How do I take care of my Easter Lilies??

I bought Easter Lilies today and I have never taken care of potted flowers before. I would actually like to plant it outside in my yard, but I have no clue how to care for this flower. I know how to water this flower, but that is as far as I can get. Can I plant it outside, when is the best time to plant it? Does it need to be in sunlight, out of the sun, best part of my yard to plant it?? Thanks for all your help!!

It won't bloom again this year. In subsequent years expect it to bloom in early summer. It was "forced" to bloom for Easter this year, but will never bloom for Easter again.



As was said, don't put it out until there is no more danger of frost. If you don't know when that is, call a local nursery; they will tell you when the danger is over.
Reply:You don't mention where you live, but I do believe that the lilies that are sold at Easter, are not hardy and will not survive a true winter...I am may be wrong, but you can certainly try to plant it outside in your garden, but if it doesnt come back next spring, that is probably why.
Reply:Very carefully
Reply:Put it outside in the ground when the danger of frost is passed. It likes to be in the sun. Leave it alone when there are green leaves on it. Remove the leaves when they turn brown. It will come back next year. Don't forget where the bulb is.
Reply:They love sun, so pick a sunny spot and add some potting soil and fertilizer to the soil and mix it in, then dig out a hole as deep as the pot and twice as wide, set the plant in and push soil in around it, put some wood chip mulch or moss mulch around it to keep moisture in and weeds out. Then just water 3 times a week or more in hot weather, it should continue blooming if you plant it now. After the blooms are finished let the leaves stay; they gather food for the roots for over the winter, then as winter comes and if the leaves are then brown cut them off. The lily will come back in the Spring, it may not bloom that next Spring but it will make leaves, just water as usual and the next year it will flower again. Sometimes they bloom again the very next year, but sometimes not. Good luck!
