Asiatic Lillies ?

[Dork Lard]

Right. Operation "Garden in Bloom" has mostly been a success so far.

I planted a few packets of Asiatic Lillies without realising that only one stalk grows from one bulb. Not a problem 'cos due to my lack of experience (& appalling instructions on the packet) I planted most of 'em in sets of 3.

They flowered a couple of weeks ago & very nice they looked too, then they threw their petals down on the floor & now I'm left with a few very sturdy but very green stalks.

I can't see any buds growing to replace the lost flowers, please tell me that it lasts a bit longer than 2 weeks.

Hi, sorry but they flower just the once for the season. Cut off the old flower head (a few inches) and then that's it. Next year they will flower again, even better than the last time.
