Things You'll Need:
- Potting soil
- Gardening gloves
- Small gardening shovel
- Bone meal
- Organic mulch
-
Step 1
Place fresh potting soil in your flower garden, this ensures that you have well-draining and nutrient rich soil for your Easter lily bulbs. Spread out an even layer of potting soil, approximately 6-inches deep. You may have to use more than one bag of potting soil.
-
Step 2
Dig several holes by hand or with the small gardening shovel, approximately 3-inches deep. Be sure to place each hole approximately 1-foot apart, this allows for the growth of the bulbs and a root system.
-
Step 3
Sprinkle bone meal into each hole. Apply only a light layer of the bone meal, and then place one bulb in each hole. The bone meal acts as a fertilizing agent to promote the growth of your Easter lily bulbs.
-
Step 4
Cover each bulb and mound the dirt on top of the bulbs, so that several small bumps are in your flower garden. Water the entire soil area. Do not over water. Apply only enough water to make the surface of the soil damp.
-
Step 5
Cover the garden with organic mulch such as grass clipping, rotting leaves, hay, or tree mulch. This provides nutrients to the soil surrounding the bulbs. Keep the mulch off the mounts to allow for the stems of the Easter lilies to grow without struggling to push through the mulch material.
