Cut down lilies

-

Once has finished and the old leaves and stems have had a chance to die back (thus feeding the bulbs), it’s safe to cut back the old tatty growth. In larger containers, leave the lilies to regrow next year – just remove the top 10cm (4in) of compost and replace with fresh. Alternativ­ely, lift and replant the bulb clumps in the garden, or separate them out and pot up singly to propagate.
