Do I lift my lilies when they have finished flowering?

Lilies do not need lifting after they have flowered. Once your lilies have finished flowering, cut the flower head off leaving the stem and foliage to die back naturally. Once everything has died back and turned yellow/brown and hollow, you can remove everything leaving about an inch of stem from the ground. Leave your lily bulbs out over winter as they like a cold dormant phase, they just don’t like to get wet so ensure they have plenty of drainage.
