The Easter lily Harrisii lingi florum Bermuda lily thrives in sun or shade and can bloom by staggering plantings Sept 1 to Nov 1. Plant bulbs one inch deeper than circumference, prepare beds with manure or fertilizer, water well, and space by bulb size. Fertilize after three to four inches height and again as buds form.
