Propagation by division.
From Late Winter TO Late Winter
Lilyturf is best propagated by divisiding the root mass. The best time to do this is during the dormant season before the onset of new growth.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant in moderately fertile, preferably acid, moist but well-drained soil in partial or full shade. Lilyturf can tolerate drought once established. Shelter from cold, drying winds in frost-prone areas
