Aaah thank you so much.

Can you stretch out the period of their growth with the new additions , so you can have continuous flowers?

Wow! Great tip! I never knew you could hang on to those old, dying flowers!

awesome video! thanks

i want to plant lily. where can i get lily seeds.

if we cut d stalk of ilium plant then we give water daily

This video was very helpful! Thank you so much :)

How do I know if the asiatic lillies I have bought need to be repotted to bigger pots and some I want to put in my yard for landscaping. I'm not good at this but I love gardening.

After cutting them down, how often do you water them during winter time?

Thank you. This helped me loads.

Soo careful

I have a balcony "garden" of potted plants only. Here in the northern Midwest, if I leave the pots outside in winter, will it be too cold for the bulbs? In other words, will they freeze and die? Or should I dig out the bulbs and store them wrapped in my fridge in winter?

One thing though, do you continue to water them through the year over to next spring after you have cut them back all the way down to the level of the soil? Do you continue to water them through the winter as well?

Thank you!!

thank you so much

Wow what a great video. I just bought some from the super and the flowers are still blooming, I was feeling sorry to throw them away once they die. You also were very approachable. Thank you once more

This video answered my question to the "T". I was trying to determine how to care for my Easter Lily now that it had finished blooming - especially by keeping it in its original pot until the next year. Thank you!!

I agree, lillies are a beautiful flower. Been following your gardening advice via youtube, i'm very much a novice but thanks to youself i'm learning all the time.
