What do I need to know about arranging lilies?

Answer by  sooz (644)

Lillies can be arranged like any other flower you would cut. The stems should be cut at an angle before they are put in the vase of water. You might want to consider removing the stamens before you put them in the vase. The pollen is messy and might get on clothes or furniture if someone bumps or touches them.

Lilies bruise easily, so handle them gently. Put each lily in the vase one at a time, and turn the vase as you go. Keep the blooms facing outward. Remove the anthers, because they can stain clothing and furniture. Cut the stems and put more food in the water every two to three days.

Lilies should be arranged closely together so that the roots aren't spread too far apart. They grow best in clusters.
