Each plant in my garden is special to me. You know that if you’re a gardener. But, the delicate and unimposing fairy lily is the plant that makes me smile the most. She makes me so happy that I often move her around to keep me company wherever I am in my garden. Did I mention I was a crazy plant lady?

Here ya go!

I wrote a story about taking my fairy lily to the park with me. It’s humor but you’ll see my lily as winter is coming and it’s time to get her into the house for her dormant period. Notice leaves are turning.

Stop feeding your fairy wing in late August.

Withholding nutrients before dormant periods is important for all plants. I live in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5 which means it gets down to 20 degrees…
