Hi all

I just got some Asiatic Lilies and put them in today. Very pretty
plants. I was wondering, though- will they spread? There were 3 stems
per pot, and I got 3 pots, and spaced them about 11 inches apart
(little card said 7-9 inch spacing, but I always take that with a
grain of salt).


They will "spread", but not like daylilies. Each bulb (corm) will
multiply so that in a few years your 3 stems will be more. They
won't travel far from the original so if you want them to fill in an
area, you'll have to transplant some of the bulbs when they form. They
don't bush out, the leaves grow only along the stems so while they
flowers are prettier, in my opinion, than daylilies, they don't fill in
your planting area as well.

In Middle TN, they'll spread, they'll bush out (or appear bush like -
I suppose that's just multiple plants.). I like them, but end up
having to weed them out of places I prefer they not occupy.
