Saskatoon -Margaret Driver - I have grown this lily, found it to be a very strong growing lily. It multiplies well and makes an excellent show in the garden. At present (2006) I do not have "Golden Princess in the garden.
Saskatoon -Gil Joanis - I planted this lily in heavy clay to which I have added peat moss, garden humus, and a samll amount of well rotted manure all of which were well mixed with the "garden soil". I fertilize with garden fertilizer (16-20-0) in May and early July; and occassionally in the fall top dress with well rotted manure. This lily is planted in a full sun area.

Saskatoon Margaret Driver - Bob Caldwell shared a bulb with me several years ago. I planted it in an area that became so crowded so I moved it in the fall 2005 from partial shade to full sun. In 2006 "Granny became "Super Granny" - it is at least 4 feet tall with 4 very robust stems with very large flowers. A change in location can sometimes make all the difference in the performance of a lily. The bed it is in is a mixture of clay, sand, peat moss, well rotted mature - this soil mix is amended annually with coffee grounds and the area receives some additional nutrient input when my husband fertilizes the lawn (20-13-10-0)
