How to Select Healthy Showy Lily？

When purchasing a showy lily, look for vibrant, deep green leaves, as this indicates good health. Check for an absence of pests by inspecting the undersides of the leaves and stems. Choose plants that have strong, sturdy stems and show overall vigor. Avoid any with yellowing leaves, wilting, or spots, which can signal disease. Ensuring the root system is well-developed but not root-bound is also crucial for healthy growth.
