Easter lilies or spring lilies are pretty, and for most people, they have a delightful fragrance. Keep them as a houseplant while the flowers last, and later you can plant them in the garden. The lily will stay blooming longer if you keep the high temperature at about 70 degrees F in the day and in the 50–60 degree range at night. This week, you can probably pick up several for the price of what one sold for before Easter.
They are an easy perennial to grow in hardiness zones 3–7, which covers most of the country. With a little more care, they can be grown in zones 8–10, as I explain later in this article.
