I have planted several lilies in the same area beginnig in July. The soil is clay, I did not do anything special when planting other than relying on the potting soil the bulb/plant was potted in as I was not familiar with how to plant differently in clay soil. The plant started to turn after 6 weeks to a rather undiserable condition. I went to replace the lily to find the bulb to appear to still be healthy, but the foliage to be not so pretty. I normally would consider this to be a sign of the season and just trim it down. Can you advise if I should surround the bulb/plant with peat or something similar to help disapate moisture until it can be absorbed by the clay? Should I be concerned about the health of the bulb for spring of next year with the soil it is planted in? it is mulched.
