How to Grow Football Lily Flower Bulb 

Planting Time
Fall : For spring-blooming bulbs, plant in the fall before the first hard frost.

• Ensure the soil is well-draining. Bulbs can rot in waterlogged soil.

• Cover with soil and water thoroughly after planting.

Watering
• Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, especially after planting.
• Reduce watering during the dormant period.

Fertilizing
• Use a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
• Follow specific recommendations for each type of bulb.

Mulching
Apply a layer of mulch to help conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Support if Needed
Some tall or top-heavy flowers may need support as they grow.

Dormancy
Understand the natural dormancy periods of your bulbs and adjust care accordingly.

Post-Bloom Care
• Deadhead spent flowers to encourage bulb strength.
• Allow foliage to die back naturally before removing.
