Plant Blackstone Asiatic lily bulbs in spring or fall, setting them about 6 inches deep and 8-12 inches apart with the pointed end up. Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid overwatering to prevent bulb rot.
