These are ones that I like to use at my cottage in the cities where I have entryway pots of mixed colors greeting those that enter. Adding height to the urns for a midsummer dream for a delightful appeal of elegance.

Oriental instructions that have worked for me in Minnesota
Plant in a moist free-draining acidic soil enriched with organic matter for optimal growth. For container planting use a loam-based, and some sand. Regular feedings and watering throughout the growing season will ensure vibrant blooms. After flowering, leave the stem intact until nice and dry, while slowly reducing the watering of your Oriental Lilies. Then when dry, clean the pot and move the container to a cool frost free spot. In boarders, lift clean and store for the winter in a cooler or suitable chilly spot. Replant the following spring during appropriate climates making sure that they are free from dangerous frosty days.
Plant 5-6 inches deep and water in well. Zone 4-8 for Oriental Lilies. Warmer Climates will need to make an artificial cold climate for a winter dormancy
