Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Sand lily plants are wild flowers and difficult to source. If you can obtain them from a commercial provider, you can grow the plant in a wildflower garden, a rock garden, beds or borders. Sand lily flowers require sandy orrocky, well-drained, alkaline soil and plenty of bright sunlight. Plant in early spring.
