My lilies were damaged by a Squirrels I have re set them and put a plastic cover on any ideas how to keep lilies safe from squirrels? Also, how many Lilies in a 14″ pot?
You could try some chicken wire and maybe search online for an eco-friendly squirrel repellent by Grazers.
I would plant 3-5 bulbs for this size pot depending on the lily variety.

Had a fabulous show of Sabor and Amstad lilies that I ordered last November. What do I do now they have finsihed flowering? How far back do I cut them? Thanks
Hi Jill
Just cut off the lily flower heads and let the foliage and stem die back completely. When it has all turned yellow and hollow, it can be removed to the ground.
Leave the bulbs in their pot over winter and give them a fresh top up of compost. Protect them from getting waterlogged by tipping the pot on its side. Other than that – they are fine to be left outside over winter.

In spring last year I bought a selection of lilies from you, they were fantastic last year and even better this year. They are all in pots, can they stay in the pots for another year or do I need to repot ?
Hi Valerie
Usually, you can leave your lilies for another year or so before they need repotting. Ensure, to give them a top up of fresh compost when they have died back and a diluted tomato feed when you see signs of growth next year. If you have found you had lots of spindly lilies coming through, then you can repot them and break off any baby bulblets.

I have some tree lilies in pots, this is their second year. The are quite top heavy and I was to move them into a border for next summer. When is the best time to do this?
Hi Sue
Once everything on your tree lily has died down, usually the end of Autumn, then you can transplant them to your borders.

I have purchased a number of lilies from you which are all in pots through the year-they are looking spectacular at the moment! Moving forwards, should I be lifting them, replacing the soil (in which case with what )or can I just leave them and feed them after flowering-
Again with what?
Many thanks
For
Your advice
Hi Jane
Your lilies can be left in the same pot over winter. Just give them a fresh amount of compost (a good multi-purpose compost mixed with John Innes No.3) on top and feed them with a diluted tomato feed when they start to show signs of growth, feed them every 2 weeks.
After 3 years, you can lift your bulbs and break off the baby bulbets and replant them all. Again add some fresh compost and added grit if necessary.
Hope this helps.

Hi, it was good to see Loraine on television the other night at the show, now is that right that after flowering we are to cut of the flowering stalks. So miss seeing you at RHS Chelsea and now have to contend with having my beautiful lilies sent by post. Thank you very much.
Hi Patrick
Hope you are well. Hopefully we will be back at Chelsea next year.
BBC Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, 2021: Episode 1:
Yes cut the lily flower heads off from just below the flower and leave the stem and foliage to die back naturally. This will feed the bulb for the following year. You’ll notice the stem will turn brown and hollow, at this point you can remove it.
