Lily-Fusion, Longiflorum X Pardalinum

Question

I just received some lily bulbs. Being that we are having very hot weather, I do not want to plant them now until the weather cools down. How do I store my bulbs until that time. I live in zone 5B

Answer 1

This will be much like storing them for Winter. The important thing will be to plant During Autumn. This will give them time to establish so that they will flower the following summer.
