I bought asiatic lilies at Home Depot when they were on clearance (and looking very bad), but for 50 cents, who could go wrong? The first year I planted them, they grew about a foot tall. I cut them back to within several inches before fall. The next year, they grew about 3 feet, so I did the same. This is their 3rd year and they are about 5 feet tall and bloom profusely. They have multiplied from the original 4 purchased to about 25. I have never divided them up. Last year I purchased 4 more and put in planters on my porch. I cut them back after they quit blooming, so we will see how they do. I plan to transplant these into the garden in the spring. My advice to anyone planting them, is to expect them to get bigger and bigger each year.
Juniper may attract specific types of moths that feed on juniper berries or live in juniper bushes. Therefore it is not the best all-purpose method for repelling moths from closets, homes, etc. However when combined with the more common natural moth repellents such as cedar chips or lavender, it may add to the efficacy of your overall approach by repelling certain moth types while the other substances will repel others. 1 part juniper to 3 parts lavender and 3 parts cedar chips tied off in sections of old nylon as satchets for drawers and closets might be a very effective approach.
Optionally, You could even throw in a tiny amount of moth balls which would decrease the need for large amounts of moth balls and make the mixture far more effective without exposing humans or pets to noxious levels of napthalene (the chemical in moth balls. You could add 1 moth ball per satchet. This would be for serious problems arising from your local environment being a forest or population center for breeding moths, a home with frequently open windows or doors, etc.
Many people find complete efficacy in the simple use of cedar or lavender alone, and never find holes in their clothes.
