We have to fill in where new steps were poured with topsoil (can mix in

June? Usually they should be planted in the fall.



The best time to plant Lily bulbs is in the fall or early spring but you
can plant them in the late spring or summer if you need to. The only
"problem" I have had planting them late is that they bloom late.

Be careful who you order them from. Some places may not ship them until
fall if you order them now so be sure to ask before you order. And you
might want to check out local garden store. Many of them have marked
down their summer bulbs and you can really get a good deal now.
