I ordered a couple of hardy lilies online and when they arrived they were
one of those encased in coconut fur in a plastic casing. The instructions
say to just float it in the water and watch them grow.
Is it that easy ? Should I see sprouting from the top ?
These are my first lilies so sorry for the dumb questions.
===================
Wal*Mart is selling them that way this year for $4.99 or something like
that. That's too small for a lily. I planted mine in the largest lined
pond plant baskets (I line them with old pillowcases) I could find and added
a broken Jobe's Rose fertilizer stick to each pot. The soil was covered
with pea gravel. They're growing like crazy. :-) Derek seems to have
good luck just dropping them in his pond.........
