I have received my order for giant lily bulbs – gosh what a size !
I have some pots with a 13 inch diameter, how many bulbs would you suggest for this size of container?

I would advise planting 3 large lily bulbs in a 13″ pot.

I have 3 Lily Robina in a pot. They have nice new sturdy shoots growing alongside the old stems but they also have many small groups of leaves growing as little plants. Can I repot them? Will they become true Lily Robina plants?
Thankyou

Hi Robina

They are baby bulblets that are forming on the side of the main bulbs. It’s probably time to divide your bulbs and replant them all. The bulblets probably won’t produce any flowers for a few years. I would wait now until your lilies have died back this year before you divide them. By the end of Autumn would probably be best the time.
