These extremely tall lilies tower above the shrubs in borders with sturdy stems and an abundance of blooms.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So, if your lilies\u00a0have bloomed, now is the time to dead head them.\u00a0Cut just below the last bloom leaving the stem to die back completely, this feeds the bulb for the following year making the bulb bigger, producing more blooms. Wait until the autumn to repot. Lilies should be re potted every three years. The little bulblets you find can also be potted to produce blooms in a few years time! Remember to keep your lilies well drained over winter. This is really important or they will rot. Tip pots on their side or place them on a couple of house bricks.
