Once lily plants have finished flowering, they should be removed as soon as they fade. Blooms left in place will produce seed, which diverts energy from flower production and plant growth. The flowers can be cut or pinched off. Alternatively, you can cut the stalks when the blooms first open and use them in floral arrangements. Always allow the leaves on the stalk to turn yellow and fall off as part of the lily plant's natural growth process. This ensures that the bulbous underground part of the plant has gotten enough nourishment and will mean greater growth next year. Each year watch their beauty increase as they multiply! Lilies grown in pots can be easily salvaged and re-planted. Deadhead spent flowers, and allow the greenery to die back before digging up the bulbs. Cut back on watering after blooming. Once the foliage has died back, dig up the bulbs from the pot. Separate as needed, and allow your bulbs to dry out on sheets of paper or in paper bags for a few days before storing the bulbs. You can replant them in the garden, or wait until next year to use in new container displays! There are literally thousands of lily plant varieties and hybrids on the market today. Some of our most popular varieties include Tiger Lilies, Oriental lilies, and Trumpet Lilies.
