I bought 3 lily bulbs from you four years ago at Chelsea.
They’ve thrived and are giants! Can I move them and if so when and how should I do this.
Thanks,
With regards to moving your lilies, once everything has died down and you have removed the stems from the bulbs, you can lift your bulbs and transfer them to a different position.

Although my lilies have flowered well this year they are too close together and have leaned over to the sun – a lot!, therefore I have decided to put them into pots and put them in full sun. Can you tell me when is the best time to move them please and what size pots do they need to go into? Also – how deep a pot do they need? At the moment they are quite shaded by next doors trees, which I suspect also takes a lot of moisture from the lilies. Thank you
Hi there,
When everything on your lily has died back, including the foliage, you can then move your bulbs to pots. Depending on how many bulbs you have, I would advise planting 3 bulbs in a deep 14 to 16″ pot. They need to be planted about 6″ deep.
More information on how to care and plant your bulbs can be found on our website.
Hope this helps.
kind regards

I wish to buy some tree lilly’s but not sure which. I live in Blackpool and plant my lilly’s in containers to protect them from mice and frost.
I am looking mainly for scent but also colour but mainly scent to fill my small garden. Can you surggest some types please. I would like them to reach at least 6′ tall.
Hi Mark
All our tree lilies are fantastic. Usually you find the whiter the flower, the stronger the scent but Tree lilies are all highly scented . Have you seen our Tree lily collections which are a good offer at a slightly reduced price?

I bought some of the above lily’s from the Southport Flower show. When I opened the bag they have grown about 2 inches. I have planted them in pots will they flower this year ?
Hi there – yes they have just started sprouting and that’s absolutely fine. I’m pleased to hear you have planted them straight away as they will be in flower in about 8 to 10 weeks.

Hi
Yesterday at the edenbridge and oxted show I bought Tulip and Lily bulbs. I intend to put both into pots. Should I plant now (Will they dry out if I don’t?) Or should I wait?
Thanks
Teresa
Hi –
You need to plant your lily bulbs immediately as they will flower in about 10 weeks time.
Your tulip bulbs can be planted now or kept somewhere cool and dark until you are ready to plant them. Ideally you need to plant them within the next month or so.

What should I do when my Gloriosa have finished flowering ?
Thank you
After your Gloriosa has finished flowering for the season, leave the foliage in place; don’t cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulb for the future.
Leaves and stalks may be removed when they yellow.
Gloriosa Lily Bulbs don’t like to get too cold, therefore if the temperature drops to -7 degrees, you’ll need to lift Gloriosa lily bulbs and store them indoors in ever so slightly damp peat moss. Or you can just replace them next spring for another year of winged blooms.
Your Gloriosa lilies will rest for a few months before beginning the next growing cycle in the spring/summer.

I lost the instructions you gave us on planting eremurus,
Please would you email them to me.
Thank you.
Choose a Sunny position to plant your Eremurus Bulbs. Choose your position carefully as Eremurus resents being disturbed. They prefer a Sunny position as they will develop stronger stems but they will grow in light shade also.
Eremurus Bulbs like a well-drained, sandy soil. Preferably an ordinary Acidic or Neutral soil type.
Gently tuck your Eremurus roots into a hole that is 5 to 6″ deep and 10-12″ across, fanning them out and pointing them slightly downwards.
Space plants about a foot apart. Plant carefully as the roots can break if not handled gently.
After planting, water well, gently soaking the soil and settling it around the roots. Root growth will begin in the Autumn. Top growth and flower stems will form in the Spring.
