We have a lily in our garden which we believe is Lily Amber Gold. This has flowered very successfully for several years but now the abundant flower heads have dwindled to only a very few. Is the plant tired and should be replaced or moved to another location? The foliage is still plentiful but unproductive. We have had red lily beetle which we removed immediately.
Lilies do flower year after year but after 3-4 years, they need dividing and replanting. Just lift the plants and divide the clumps, you will see baby bulblets attached to the original bulb break these off and replant all the bulbs and bulblets. Add extra compost where necessary.
