    Hi

    I bought some Tree Lily bulbs this year from a newspaper ad, and very nice they turned out too, about 5-6 ft tall with amazing smelling flowers on.

    Most are in the ground but a couple are in large pots, what should i do with the bulbs, should they be lifted and stored or just left ??

    The foilage and stems seem to be dying back now quite quickly, my soil is not great its got a lot of clay in.

    Thanks

    Thanks for posting that Jesterhud. It reminds me I wanted to get some for next year.
    I think you can just leave your lilies in their pots.
