They will be fine out in the open. I love having my lilies in pots, means I can put them on display when they are looking good, and hide them away when they are not!
Fine outside. If if goes really cold out them against a wall for a bit of protection. The biggest thing to guard against at this point are slugs and snails,who love the tender shoots as they come through.
hi sorry to jump in, i want to move my inherited day lilies, when best to do this? also the ones i dug up have been in total shade for 18 months, they have lots of new leaves coming, will they flower if given sun? thanks in advance
Day lilies will be starting into growth now. Move as soon as possible and water in well.They should then romp away.
thanks fidget
A silly question..........those little bulblets that you find in the pots..if I pot them up, will they eventually grow into big lillies that will flower??
Yes Linda, but it will take a few years before they grow to flowering size. You can also grow them from any scales which fall off larger bulbs - just put the scales in a small plastic bag of damp compost and leave somewhere warm and dark for a few weeks. The scales will then form little bulbs which can be potted on. Again, probably at least 3 years before they will flower though.
Looks like I need to be patient then!! Thank you Bob
