Dear sir/madam, I really must thank you for the quality of your lily bulbs. I was given a voucher by my daughter and purchased a number of bulbs of various types and all have given the most suberb blooms on strong and vigorous plants. The Gloriosa are spectacular and still going strong with the different types looking striking growing through each other and are currently 3mt. tall and more to come. What is your recommeneded way to look after Gloriosa when they are finished?. I have another voucher that I shall be using as soon as your stocks are in. Thank you again, Terry Adger
Hi Terence
Thank you so for much for taking the time to email us. We are delighted to hear how happy you are with your lilies and gloriosa!
With regards to the aftercare of your gloriosa:
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.
