Lilly bulb re-planting time

Posted on by

This question was asked by

Hi,
I hope you and your team are well.

I have bought tree lillies from you few years ago. Planted them in pots and since few years, they have been blooming so well. Now the pots became too packed and I would like to take them out and re-plant them. Could you please advise me if it is the right time to do this now? The above ground parts of the plants are completely dried out.

Many thanks,
Merih

Hi there,

Yes, Autumn is the perfect time to lift and replant your lilies, once everything has died back naturally and the stem has turned brown and hollow.

You can divide the bulbs by breaking off the baby bulblets and replanting them all.

Growing tree Lilies in limestone

Do you have Tree Lilies that will thrive on Portland Dorset, we are limestone based really.

Tree lilies are happy in any well-drained soil type. Alternatively, they can be planted in pots.

We have lots of tree lilies here:

Tulips grown in pots

Having bought many bulbs from you over the years, for the first time last year I planted lots of them in pots.
I’d be grateful if you could tell me if they will flower again next spring if I just leave them?

Thank you
P.S. Our tree lilies are amazing by the way!!!!

Hi there,
Tulips are naturally perennials coming back year-after-year. However, in some circumstances when they do return they are smaller and don’t bloom as well in their second or third years.

Tulips will flower well for one year and then need lifting out of the soil and carefully stored if you want to use them again. Once everything has fully died back, you can lift them and store them in a dark, dry, airy place over summer, allowing the air to circulate around them. They can then be replanted in the Autumn.

Leaves are lovely and green but no flower heads producing.

Hi there,

When did you plant them? If they are a few years old, did you allow the foliage and stems to die back naturally after flowering? This feeds the bulbs so they flower the following year. Also, if they are more 3 years old then they may need dividing.

If you planted them a little later into the season this year then tree lilies will take about 10-12 weeks from planting to flower.

Do they have plenty of sun and drainage? You can always send me a photo of your lilies to have a look at for you.

Scented Lilies

I like to know what most scented lilies you have in stock pack of 10-15.

Hi Anthony

Our lilies will be available to pre-order very soon. Please keep checking back on our website and/or click on one of the links to be notified when something is back in stock. As a general rule of thumb, the whiter the variety of lily the stronger the scent – this is with anything mixed with an oriental lily though. Asiatic lilies do not carry a scent as they attract the insects by their bright colours.

Have you seen:

Roselily ‘Aisha’ (SKU176191)

Lily ‘Zambesi’ (SKU17616)

Lily ‘Nymph’ (harts1027)

These lilies all carry a fantastic fragrance.
