We advise doing this towards the end of Autumn, once your lilies have completely died back and have turned yellow and hollow. Once divided, you can replant all the bulbs giving them some fresh compost. You can then feed them with a diluted tomato feed during active growth periods.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/split-lily-bulbs-300x207.jpg\" alt=\"split lily bulbs\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/split-lily-bulbs-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/split-lily-bulbs-434x300.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/split-lily-bulbs.jpg 547w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<em class=\"hubmaster_faq_editor\">The Hart Family<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usually after 3-4 years of flowers, you can lift your bulbs and divide them.
