It is in the hardy border or among shrubbery that Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of the shade of the surrounding plants, which is so necessary for their welfare.

When grown in pots it is advisable to begin with the smallest pot in which the bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger pots as the plant progresses.
