Should You Feed Lilies

The North American Lily Society recommends the generous use of a 10-10-10 type granular fertilizer, scratched into the soil and watered in well when sprouts emerge in spring. Smaller feedings can be applied at regular intervals thereafter — every 4 to 6 weeks or so — during the growing season, always watered in well.

What is the best feed for lilies?

Lilies like to be fed while they are growing. Ideally give them a liquid potash feed (e.g. tomato feed) every two weeks as well as top dressing with a slow release fertiliser.

Is Miracle Grow good for lilies?

Yes, both lilies and peonies will respond favorably with added fertilizers (including Miracle Gro). Just like any fertilizer, one wouldn’t want to over do it, or apply at a wrong time.
