When to divide lilies?
I'm in OKC (zone 7) and am getting ready to start bring my plants out of
hiding to put into the pond. I've noticed my hardy lilies while in "hiding" (In a tub of water in a cool room with a light on for 8 hrs a day) seem to have grown, some a lot. They are crawling out of their pots, should I just re-pot into a taller pot, or is it safe to divide this time of year? My hardies all seem to have kept a few leaves all winter long, but my tropicals haven't done anything all winter, I didn't expect them to, but hope they survived. I don't plan on doing anything to them, aside from possibly putting into a wider pot, and of course fertilizing! Thanks for any advice! Bryan |

When to divide lilies?
I have successfully divided hardy water lillies as late in the season as
late August, and they do fine. Also in Early spring when they are just starting up. I'd say now is ideal in your climate. Bryan wrote in message ...

In zone 7 you do not need to bring in your hardies. It is safe to divide a
hardy lilly any time of year,,,even when they are blooming. Jerri http://www.fringeweb.com/Ponds/JerrisPond |
