If you want to bring a tropical look to your exotic garden then why not plant and grow lily bulbs? They are inexpensive, readily available and easy to grow. Just make sure that they are in a sunny position (although they will tolerate partial sun) and a well-drained soil. Be aware that there are a huge variety of cultivars available from dwarf lilies up to 9 inches high to towering tree lilies which can easily achieve 5ft or taller. Whatever you choose make sure that they are planted deep enough so that the stems have enough support. Furthermore provide good drainage to ensure that your bulbs will survive and flower year after year.
