Thank you Michigan Mike! Happy to be here. I've tried my hand at lilies a couple of times. The first was super successful and they flourish every year. The second and third times, not so much. I'm gearing up to plant a Silk Road as soon as it arrives (and move all the other bulbs), and am hoping to have better success. It'll be the first time I'm actually preparing the soil beforehand and making sure it's right for the plants!
Anyone have any suggestions, tips or tricks that might help regarding the soil or anything else? I've heard this plant can reach 5 to 7 feet and has a wonderful fragrance, so I want to do my best.
Oh oh, I hope that's a true lily and not a daylily! If the latter, I'll have to bounce back to the other forum!
Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between a true lily and a daylily?
