Two questions- Asiatic Lilies and Persimmon trees

 

Hi all

I just got some Asiatic Lilies and put them in today. Very pretty
plants. I was wondering, though- will they spread? There were 3 stems
per pot, and I got 3 pots, and spaced them about 11 inches apart
(little card said 7-9 inch spacing, but I always take that with a
grain of salt).

Second question- I live in zone 6B and the soil is all sand- we're
close to the ocean. How would a persimmon tree fare here? We have full
sun on most of the property but there are some spots that are shaded
part of the day. Any help would be appreciated.

Bump. Any help?

I have discovered that if I want persimmons, I have to plant two of
the buggers.

They will "spread", but not like daylilies.  Each bulb (corm) will
multiply so that in a few years your 3 stems will be more.  They
won't travel far from the original so if you want them to fill in an
area, you'll have to transplant some of the bulbs when they form.  They
don't bush out, the leaves grow only along the stems so while they
flowers are prettier, in my opinion, than daylilies, they don't fill in
your planting area as well.

In Middle TN, they'll spread, they'll bush out (or appear bush like -
I suppose that's just multiple plants.). I like them, but end up
having to weed them out of places I prefer they not occupy.

I put three in last year.  They are SO beautiful, I wish they would
bloom longer.
Two of them have made pups.  I posted a question earlier about when to
separate out the pups
and replant them.  Could  somebody remind me on that?   This is a mild
Mediterranean climate
with not much "winter" (So. Calif coastal).  Do I have to wait until
the leaves fall and plant "dies",
or what?  Would really value your experience, esp. if in similar
climate.
