Lilies prefer full sun to a little shade to bloom well. Lastly, what type of soil are they in? Very dry soil will result in fewer blooms.

But this year I kept sprinkling Milorganite around the lily plants - even last night, and I am getting to enjoy most of my lilies for the first time - they are sooooooooo pretty!
