Lilium 14-15

Post by Muhammad Arif Khan »

In continuation of my experiment on Lilium I planted them early this year.
On 25th of September smaller bulbs less than 1 inch were planted in the ground and larger in pots.
All have sprouted and doing well.
Today a month after;
The small bulbs

Although the stems are thin the shape of the plants give the impression that they may also bloom. What is your opinion?

The large bulbs in pots

I say 90 % of those in the picture. I have no experience but I feel, the early planting will give them time to mature more over the stem roots above the bulb may do the trick.
