I wanted to let you know how much joy and beauty your Lilies have brought to a sheltered area of our garden in North Yorkshire. Believe it or not, they are just flowering now and the scent from them while having a cup of tea this afternoon was a real lift to the spirit as Autumn creeps over the fields! I planted them in pots and despite signs of a potential attack by the dreaded red beetle and some wily slugs, they have survived and are stunning! At the first sight of these pesky little bugs, I checked each pot thoroughly every day until I felt confident they had disappeared! I am now ready to look at more Lilies for next year – as you can see I have become obsessed – for next year and also some tulips. If the tulips \’give\’ like your Lilies I will have so much happiness from Spring through to Autumn!
Thank you for the expert quality of your beautiful bulbs!Kind regards
Cathy

You say with lilies in pots you can mix up the right sort of soil. Anything I grow in pots I use peat free compost not garden soil. For lilies would peat free compost be suitable?
Yes Lilies will be fine planted in a good-quality, peat-free, multi-purpose compost.

Hi, I purchased some lily bulbs earlier this year which I potted up, because we have recently had so much rain and very strong winds I cut my lilies to enjoy in a vase. I am now worried that I have not left enough leaves on the amistad lilies to feed the bulbs, should I keep them or put them on compost tip.
Thank-you
HI Sheena
Have you left 2ft of stem? If so, you should be ok.
If you haven’t – don’t worry! I would advise giving them a tomato feed in the spring next year and a slow release fertiliser. This will help its growth. They may not be great next year but they should come back better the following year.

do you have any lillies potted to flower shortly? I have in the past purchased from you at Chelsea alas not to be this year. The lillies we have are going over and would like to replace them. They are such a joy!
Hi Rosemary
Sorry we don’t have any now. All our bulbs are sent in bulb form from February onwards.

Am absolutely delighted with the lilies I bought from you in the early summer. They are now coming to the end of flowering. What is the best way to keep them healthy until next year? They are in pots and I do not have any glass. Do I cut them down and if so how far? I have deadheaded them. Thank you.
Hi Jill
When the Lily has finished flowering, cut any seed heads back and allow the foliage to die back naturally. Do not be tempted to cut the stem back until stems become hollow and brown. Ensure to leave at least 2′ of stem.
You do not need to lift your bulbs, they like a cold dormant phase throughout winter. Just ensure they do not get waterlogged as this will cause them to rot.

I am looking to buy some Liliums and I see in your online catalogue
has some bulbs down as sold out. Is this last years or has the crop failed. When do you intend to lift your bulbs or do await an order?
