Beautiful Lillies @Pacnorwest , do you grow them in containers ??? I've always grown mine in them as it's such a faff to retrieve the bulbs for Winter storing. I'm seriously contemplating planting half out in the borders next year an seeing if they can be successfully left in the ground mulched and covered like the Dahlias.
Logan luv, luv, luv, your glads. A fav flower to see this time of year. Those are so colorful and last a long time. Oreti no problem on the lily question. I wanted to let you know that I first planted them for a time out in the garden, until the gophers and ground squirrels settled in. And deer. Now I plant them in pots in a secure area on the back porch..near the dog area. ThIs way the lily bulbs don’t become food for the animals . I just bring the pots in next to the house in a covered area to protect from winter frost or freeze. it’s the opposite of what you’re proposing for next season. I have been trying to down size the potted plants …
Thanks @Pacnorwest ...that's my plan too.... Yes that's what I've been doing, storing them in their pots in a sheltered corner, undercover in the nursery area for the last 7 years. They all bloomed this year but the display wasn't as good as usual.....perhaps they are getting too old now or was it the heat we've had this year.....???.
