Hi All

I am about the cut back my Asiatic Lily and noticed there are some new
growth coming from the stem and leaves, are they called corns or
corms?
I did see something on this on BBC Gardeners World about re-planting
them but cannot find anything anywhere.

As you can probably tell I am new to gardening.

Can anyone help?


Thank You
Steph

I think they are immature bulbs. If you remove them carefully so as to
avoid damaging the base, they can be planted in flower pots.

Don't expect any flowers the first growing season. After that season,
actual bulbs will have formed. They can then be moved into the ground.
