The Lily Garden Bacardi Oriental Lily

While these lilies feature sturdy 3-4 foot stems, they are generally strong enough to stand upright on their own. If your garden is located in a particularly windy area, you may want to provide light support to protect the heavy blooms.

The 'Bacardi' is hardy in zones 4-9, meaning it is well-equipped to survive winter temperatures as low as -30°F. In the colder end of that range, applying a layer of mulch in late autumn will help insulate the bulbs.

You can plant these bulbs in either the spring or the fall. Planting in the fall allows the roots to establish before winter, while spring planting is ideal for those in colder regions who prefer to avoid frost heave.

Yes, their 3-4 foot height makes them a great candidate for large, deep pots. Ensure your container has excellent drainage to prevent bulb rot and place it in a spot that receives plenty of sunlight.

For the best bloom performance, plant your 'Bacardi' lilies in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. They prefer at least six hours of direct sunlight daily to produce their signature deep fuchsia color.
