Answer 1

It depends on the type of lily that you have. It may not get gold enough for long enough to satisfy the chill hour requirement that many lilies have. Your zone is equivalent to our USDA zone 9, so you will need to make sure that your lily does not have a chill requirement, as it will not likely get cold enough in your area.
