My rose lily planted in July has grown but only has a flower buds. Should I leave it to see if they will flower or should I cut off the buds to help the plant for next year
Thanks for your message!
If your Roselily has formed buds, it’s best to leave them on for now and let the plant decide what it can manage. If the weather stays mild, the buds may still open — lilies often surprise us late in the season!
If the buds don’t open and start to yellow or die back, you can then remove them so the plant can redirect its energy into the bulb for next year’s growth.
Either way, the plant will be absolutely fine for next year — just allow the foliage to die back naturally so it can feed the bulb.
