Re: Liliums 2014-15
The Asiatic are in bloom again, but compared to the winter blooms the flowers are faded and not as bright.
How to grow Liliums, decide yourself.
HOW I WILL BE GROWING LILIUM;
Starting today cut off water supply.
As the plants dry, dig out the bulbs and place in cold storage.
Plant small bulbs in bed on 1st of September to develop and mature till June.
Plant large bulbs on 1st of November. Take only one flush, cut off water after they finish blooming. Remove bulbs for storage as the plants whither.

I have harvested all Asiatic lily bulbs on 25/6/15, the small bulb lets planted have grown to about an inch in size.
Now I will be planting all bulb lets on 1st of Sept and all 1 inch and larger bulbs on 1st of November. I will let them dry after first bloom ( that is in February), no second bloom.
