Lilium Oriental hybrids

When to plant oriental lily

Plant Oriental lily bulbs in spring or fall in fertile, moist, well-drained soil (NC State). Oriental lilies are hardy down to zone 3 and overwinter in the ground rather than being lifted and stored.

Oriental Lily is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
