Easter lilies (Lilium longiflorum) are beautiful with their white trumpet flowers and are traditionally given as gifts or purchased for decoration during the holiday season. This year don’t toss it away after the blooms are gone–try transplanting it in your garden and you could be rewarded with more in the Fall (if you’re lucky) or next Spring (up to Zone 6).
Did you know:
you can re-pot it in a patio container and grow outdoors on your deck or balcony.
If it starts growing up out of the soil too early in the Spring (when it will likely get killed off by frost), try covering the new growth with a few inches of potting soil.
The white trumpet flowers symbolize purity, hope and life.
Lilies are very poisonous to cats so make sure to keep them out of reach of your favorite feline.
If you live in a colder climate than Zone 6, try mulching heavily in the Fall–it might just do the trick and the lily may make an appearance next Spring.
