How to Take Care of a Lollipop Asiatic Lily Flower

Prepare the planting area by digging it up to a depth of 10 inches. Add 3 inches of compost or well-rotted manure, and mix it in with the existing soil. If drainage is poor, add 3 inches of coarse sand. Rake the bed until it is smooth.

Pour the fungicide into a container that is deep enough to cover the bulbs.

Dip the Lollipop bulbs into the fungicide for 20 seconds. Set them on a paper towel until all of them have been dipped.

Plant the Lollipop Asiatic lily bulbs 8 inches deep and 6 inches apart.

Water the bulbs until the top 10 inches of soil is moist. The bulbs don't require a lot of water until the foliage reaches 3 inches tall, but don't allow the soil to completely dry out. Keep it slightly moist at all times.

Cover the planting area with 3 inches of mulch, and rake it back at the first sign of growth in late spring.

Fertilize the lilies with 5-10-10 fertilizer when the foliage reaches 3 inches tall. Apply the fertilizer at the rate suggested on the package for flowering plants.
