This question was asked by
I have lilies which have been grown in large tubs. The flowers have died off and the leaves are now starting to turn brown. Should I lift the bulb from the pots and store them over winter or leave them in the pots. The pots are quite large and heavy.Any advice will be appreciated
Thanks
Robert
Hi Robert
Leave the lilies where there are – they like a cold dormant phase over winter. Ensure there is plenty of drainage so the bulbs don’t get waterlogged.
Cut the flower head off and leave the foliage and stem to die back naturally. This can all be removed once it has turned brown and hollow.
