Where to Buy Easter Lillies in Syosset

Next to chocolate bunnies and paint-speckled eggs, the Easter Lily (Lilium longiflorum) has become the traditional iconic plant of the Easter season, gracing several churches and homes at the end of April.

With its large blossoming trumpet-shaped white flowers and typical Lily fragrance, the Easter Lily can add the right touch to any Easter celebration. 

Symbolizing purity and innocence, the perennial bulb plant is specifically bred for Easter, which means that its lifespan in flower shops is short. The Easter Lily is only around for about two weeks at the very end of April to the very beginning of May. But if planted in the ground, the flower will bloom again in mid-August.

And caring for an Easter Lily plant is simple. The plant, which typically consists of four to nine flowers on a stem, just needs to be watered every three to four days and be kept in moderate temperatures around 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The Easter Lily will flourish normally under a wide range of light conditions.

Also, to extend your Easter Lily’s lifespan, remove the yellow anthers, or pollen buds, from the center of the plant. This can also prevent staining of the white petals.  

Although other popular Easter flowers include tulips and daffodils, the Easter Lily remains a fan-favorite for its captivating pure white color and symbolic nature. When choosing a plant, make sure you purchase one that still has tight bulbs to ensure a longer lifespan at home.
