Planting Lilies/Roselilies in the Garden

Care Instructions
How to care for Dahlias
- Once your dahlias have finished flowering and the first frosts have blackened the foliage, cut the plants back to the ground.
- In well-drained soils, leave the tubers in the ground and mulch over to protect against frosts.
- In colder climates or heavier soils, lift and store your tubers over winter.
- If lifting and storing over winter, cut back foliage and carefully lift the tubers out of the soil. Allow the tubers to dry off naturally and then clean away any soil. Trim the stems back and cut off any fine roots. Make sure the tubers are completely dry before storing them into open trays or boxes. Pack with dry sand. Leave the crowns exposed.
- Replant the following spring.
- Must be kept frost free.
- Once the risk of frosts have passed and you start to see signs of growth again, the mulch can be removed.
- Water regularly during active growth periods.
How to care for Lilies and Roselilies
- Lilies/Roselilies can tolerate very cold conditions but they do not like to get wet.
- If planting in borders in the garden, the soil must be well drained and, preferably, humus rich.
- If planting in pots, make sure Lilies/Roselilies are kept moist but do not get waterlogged.
- Lilies/Roselilies prefer to be planted in a location with at least half a day’s full sunshine, if it’s a bit too shady they will lean their stems towards the sun.
- Lily/Roselily bulbs do not like to be dried out so they must be kept in soil at all times.
- Try to plant your Lilies/Roselilies where they will dry out after rain to prevent Botrytis, a fungus that spots the leaves. If you do see brown spots on your leaves, spray with a fungicide recommended for roses.
- If planting in pots, it may be an idea to tilt the pots on their side in the winter to prevent waterlog.
- When the Lilies/Roselilies have finished flowering, cut any seed heads back and allow the foliage to die back naturally. Do not be tempted to cut the stem back until stems becomes hollow and brown.
- Lilies/Roselilies like a cold dormant phase throughout the winter so they don't need lifting. However, do ensure they have adequate drainage and do not get waterlogged as this will cause the bulbs to rot.
- After a few years of flowering, you may find your Lilies/Roselilies produce less blooms, it may be time to lift your bulbs and divide them by breaking off the bulblets. All the bulbs will then need replanting.
- To prevent Lily Beetles from damaging your Lilies/Roselilies, we recommend using the Lily Beetle Prevention Spray or you can make up your own with the Concentrate. This Spray (Grazers G4) will also stimulate growth of your Lilies/Roselilies.
- You can feed your Lilies/Roselilies with a Tomato Feed to stimulate and strengthen your Lilies/Roselilies when you start to see signs of growth. Make up your tomato feed with half the recommended dilution (written on the instructions on the bottle) and feed once every 3 weeks.
How to Care for Gladioli
- If in pots, stop watering at the end of summer and bring them indoors for winter to protect against frost.
- Place back outside once the danger of winter frosts has passed.
- If planted in the garden, we advise to lift and store your Gladioli corms for winter, store them in a breathable bag (like a paper bag) and ensure the air is able to circulate around the corms. Keep the corms in a cool, dry spot like a garage or shed.
- In mild parts of the country, you can keep your corms planted in the ground over winter but it is a risk, just mulch them over deeply with 6-7cm (2.5").
