Climate and Soil Requirements

Forever Susan lilies are well-suited to USDA zones 3–9. They require fertile, well-drained soil and good air circulation to prevent rot. Avoid waterlogged areas and ensure the planting site drains freely, especially in winter months.

Sunlight and Watering

Provide full sun for the best bloom quality. Water consistently during the growing season but reduce watering after flowering. Keep soil moderately moist, never soggy.

Care and Maintenance

Allow foliage to naturally yellow and wither after blooming to feed the bulbs for next year. These lilies are not deer resistant, so consider protective measures if you live in an area with heavy deer traffic.
