The black asian lily is a beautiful garden and cut flower. Lilies look great in groups between perennials and shrubs. After flowering, they can be left in the ground quietly and will bloom again year after year. Lilies are also great for in flower pots or planters. Plant lilies sheltered from the wind along a fence or among other plants and shrubs. The flowers like to be in the sun. The bulbs of lilies can be planted in autumn. In case of frost, it is best to protect the bulbs and any shoots that have already emerged with some leaves or branches. It is recommended to transplant lilies every 3 to 4 years. They will then draw new energy from the new soil and the lilies will bloom beautifully and colourfully for years to come. Beware of the orange lily bug: it is the lily's greatest enemy! The bugs are best controlled by removing them manually. There are various pesticides, but lily beetles quickly become immune to these.
