How do I care for my rose lilies in containers over winter?
All Lilies can tolerate very cold conditions, in fact they like a cold dormant stage but they do not like to get wet.
If planting in pots, make sure lilies are kept moist but do not get waterlogged.
Lily bulbs do not like to be dried out so they must be kept in soil at all times.
If planting in pots, it may be an idea to tilt the pots on their side in the winter to prevent waterlog.
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.
