  • Overwintering Asiatic lilies

    Should I remove my lily bulbs from their pot and store them somewhere else over the winter - if so, how? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    They are pretty hardy, Upwood. That said they may not like sitting in a wet or frozen pot all winter. I'd be inclined to put them somewhere sheltered and not let them get too wet over the winter - could you put them in the rain-shadow of a wall or under an evergreen shrub?
    Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

      I've always left mine in the pots. Mind you, they ae fair sized pots.

        I lift mine & store them in the shed as I re-use the pots for winter bedding, They can break up if you are not careful when lifting them.

          But each bit that breaks off will become another bulb. It can take several years though!
