I re-poy ALL potted bulbs every year (in theory- occaisionally time runs out!).

I have 3 lily regarle and 3 pink perfection and both did well in pots this year. I fed them during flowering and after flowering and will keep them in the pots for next year. I will move them to a cold greenhouse in December and hopefully they will bloom again next year.

For 're-poy' read 're-pot'. It was late at night when I posted that!!!

Why bother potting them when you can plant them deep with good drainage and they will grow better in the ground and propagate themselves?

I planted some late flowering white ones in a pot at our old house 10years ago. They moved here with us,still in the pot outside the back door, never repotted and always flower well. I do feed them very occasionally but they are usually neglected. Idon't deserve them! Have to say that this autumn I am thinking about putting them in some new compost.
