Just a bit of advice on my African Lilly, I managed to save it as it wasn’t in great condition when I moved in, it has flowered really well this year but I think with the weather it seems to be fading/drooping really early, my question is do I prune and how and when I’ll post some pics to show how it was.

    You've done a good job reviving it.   Now all you have to do is give it some feed to help it build itself up for next year's flowers and, as soon as the current flowers go over and are no longer blue, you can cut each flower stem out right at the base.

    You could also, maybe, leave on one or two flower heads so they set seed and then sow them to get new plants.
