Lilies for Easter Grow Bermuda to Supply Weakened US Market
Bermuda lily farming uses 365 islets off North Carolina as seed sources, producing millions of bulbs for Easter. The process includes two crops per bulb, with early blooms in March and a later harvest for shipping in June. Bermuda growers push forced flowers to compete with Yankee florists, while reports claim quality differs from greenhouse blooms. A United States Bermuda coalition aims to curb cut flowers to protect bulbs, and Easter lilies remain short lived, demanding precise timing. The industry also notes white and blue varietal experiments and other ornamentals like narcissus and hydrangea. An estimated 24.9 million lilies will bloom nationwide on Easter Sunday.
