We've just been given a pot of Star Gazer lilies; some are in flower
and there are plenty of buds. The instructions say that they can be
planted in a sunny place in the garden without the pot, but they don't
say when. Should we nurture them over the winter and plant them in
the spring, or can we over-winter them outside?

I can't understand why they are in flower ..... forced in a greenhouse
possibly? Normally you would plant lily bulbs now and they would flower next
yeat. If they're flowering now they may get a bit of a shock outdoors, still
they only have two choices I suppose
