Lily Bulbs bought at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show

This question was asked by
P. Edwards

We bought five ‘Samantha’ bulbs from you this week at Hampton Court. We in tend growing them in a large pot. Do we plant them straight away or store them until the autumn? If we store them how should they be kept?
Look forward to hearing from you. Your stand was amazing.

Thank you for your lovely comment!
Please plant your lilies straight away as they will still flower this year (10-12 weeks time) and then they will revert back to their usual flowering cycle next year, which should be slightly earlier (end of July/Beginning August).
