Hardy Lily over winter
Hello,
this past winter was my first in keeping lilies over the winter. All I did in the fall was snip the leaves and left the rhizome at the bottom of the pond where it did not freeze. Do I just wait and let nature take its course ? |

You can, but if it's possible for you, they'll develop faster if you can let them start close to the surface, and slowly lower them as they develop. -- derek |
