Lilies All bulbs found in the Lily Shop at the NE corner of the school building Lilies make a bold statement in the garden. Most lilies prefer to be planted with their “heads in the sun, feet in the shade” in well-drained soil. They show off best in your garden planted in groups of three to five, and we offer prices to make that affordable. If you plant several groups with different blooming times, you can have lilies blooming June through October! Lilies are also good nectar plants for butterflies and moths. Í∏´
