I did the studies a few years back comparing lily growth and bloom in pea
gravel vs. soil. You need to be sure to use a slow release fertilizer that supplements

I use what Longwood gardens uses.. highland rim. if you fertilize there is no
difference in plant vigor/blooms. if you forget to (as I have done), there seems to be
less blooming, but no difference in leaf production.. that's for lilies.
Interesting - what is "highland rim"?
