Canadian lily seeds are easy to grow, and you need to wait 5 or 6 years for the plants to bloom. Buy seeds or just leave the pods on the tree in the fall. Save the dry seeds for planting next spring. The easiest (and fastest) way to start growing Canadian lilies in your garden is to grow bulbs, available at gardening centers that specialize in native plants or wild lilies.

How to grow Canadian lilies in the garden

Growing Canadian lilies is not that complicated. Canadian wildflowers prefer full sun or partial shade and loamy, slightly acidic soil, much like their native woodland homes. Good drainage is vital to successful Canadian lilies.
If your soil is not full, mix several inches (5 to 12.5 cm) of compost, mulch, or another organic matter into the top of the soil.
Plant Canada lily bulbs twice their depth, which usually means that each tuber should be covered with soil about 4 inches (10 cm.).
Place the bulbs 12 to 15 inches (30.5 to 45.5 cm.) apart. A layer of shredded bark or other mulch helps the plant have a good world.
Mulch in late spring and then, if possible, renew in midsummer. You can also fertilize the plant at these times. Experts recommend using a potato or tomato fertilizer formula that has all the nutrients needed for wildflowers.
Water the area regularly with soil to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Try to keep the foliage dry and avoid over-watering. Canadian wildflowers thrive in moist but not soggy soil.
