The only good news is that daylilies, which are not true lilies, are not affected. My Easter and Asiatic lilies are gone now and I'm not prepared to spend money on new ones to feed the little red creeps. Be cautious about bringing lilies in for cut flowers if you have cats or dogs. Most lilies are very toxic to pets. My grandmother recently passed away and her house has been sold. She has a tiger lily that I would like to keep, but the temperatures in the area are highs of upper 30's and lows of low to mid 20's.
What's my best option for moving the bulbs and establishing them in my garden? This may or may not work but your best bet may be to dig deep and wide around them, not disturbing or touching the bulbs—perhaps not even seeing them. Store them in a pot or box in similar conditions until spring and let them thaw naturally.
Then when the soil can be worked, plant them. IF this does not work, buy others. Checking the spot where my lilies are, I noticed the bulbs are showing through the dirt. Should I dig them plant them deeper? It's November now and they are on the south side of the house. Per the guidance above: Before winter, add 4 to 6 inches of mulch, simply to delay the ground freeze and allow the roots to keep growing. Leave the mulch until spring once the last hard frost has passed.
See your local frost dates. From Central Minnesota, I have many varieties of Asiatic Lillies and every year I get a few plants that are yellow from spring to fall and stay very short.
I fertilizer throughout the season and mulch in winter. They are not being over watered. They are planted in direct sunlight. One year they are picture perfect and then the next year they are yellow all year long. What can I do to bring them back to life? I have what I think are Stella de Oro day lillies. After the flower they turn to a big green seed pod. Should I let this happen? Should I pull the dead flowers before it happens? Should I pluck these off? Please advise. Thank you!
Plants producing seed are likely to have fewer flowers the following year. The Cooperative Extension service in Florida could tell you which lilies thrive in which parts of the state. Extreme temperatures will have an impact on flower color development in plants, primarily due to the effect of temperature on pigments. In general, high temperatures lead to lighter flower colors due to reduced anthocyanin content in plants such as oriental lily and others.
Conversely, low temperatures result in darker flowers because of increased anthocyanin content in plants. Anthocyanins play an irreplaceable role in the color development of plants. Light is another major factor that affects flower color, particularly light intensity, light quality and photoperiod. Water is key, too: Appropriate water content allows plants to maintain their inherent flower colors for a longer period of time, while water deficiency drought stress causes flowers to turn darker.
I have a bed of lilies, purchased at different times through different merchants. After a few years, they have all turned white!
They are all asiatic lilies. I have never seen this before. Any ideas? You can plant the bulb in deep pots plant about 6 inches deep for large bulbs in container but it needs to be outdoors for natural sunlight. After a great flowering this year, I have enormous seed heads.
I have removed them and opened one to find a minimum of "1million" seeds - I consider!! I have searched the internet and find it may be 7years before they grow to flowering state, but prior to that, what should I do? Dry them? Let them drop into the ground? Is it worth it?
