Planting bulbs

This question was asked by

Hi,
I bought several bulbs last year and planted them in pots which kept blowing over so next year would like to replant in the borders. How would you advise to re- plant the bulbs ?
Let the bulbs dry out in the garage over the winter and plant individually next spring or but the whole clump directly into the soil now?
Thanks

Hi there,

Once everything has died back completely and you’ve removed the hollow stem and foliage (which should be about now depending on when you planted them), you can dig your bulbs up and move them to your garden and replant them. Ensure there is adequate drainage for them. Lilies are happy to reach minus 20 degrees but they do not like to get waterlogged as they will rot. Hope this helps.
