Hi, I have a number of large pots of lilies bought as mixed collections. On the whole they are tall varieties. This will be their third season in pots and I would like to plant them out. Is now a good time or shall I sink the pots again for this season and plant them out after the flowers have died off. They are just beginning to shoot and have obviously multiplied as there are many ancillary small shoots.
Thank you
When lifting and dividing your lilies, it’s best to wait for them to finish flowering and die back completely before you do so. Late Autumn to early winter is usually the time to be able to lift your lilies and replant them. I would leave them for this season as your lily bulbs have started showing signs of growth.
