Lily's in pots

I'd put them in the garage or somewhere like that to keep the worst of the cold off. depends on which lily it is of course.

I have had some outside all winter, but they are sheltered behind the shed, plus i have left some in the ground. Geoff Hamilton used too so it should be ok for me.

Mine have been outside all the time since I planted them - I am hoping that they have survived! I just had no room either in the greenhouse or the coldframe for them.

thanks all will put em against a wall and through some fleece over them for a couple of months , thiniking about it some came up in the garden last year sothey must have been out all winter,as seaburn says probably depends on type, as usual the boxes they came in I will have logged ,photographed and filed.. . .. . . .. ...Aye Right!!!!!! thrown in the compost ten minutes after I opened em more like.

I see we use the same filing system, Maccrimmon ... !

filing is relatively easy when you are off work sick and not able to garden for weeks. :[

now i've started doing it properly I'll try and keep it up.

Ive had lilies in pots and containers for 2 seasons now, and they have been outside thru the worst of Scottish weather, they were just fine for me, ( see pics )

cheers peedee that puts me at ease as your just along the road we get the same weather

I have lilies in containers in Moray and they withstand the cold. I would suggest that they don't like to get too wet during the cold winter so would benefit with some overhead cover, unless it doesn't rain so much in Lanarkshire (grin)

aint rained here for a couple of years now Bulbaholic err i mean days , oh forgot it was raining this morning, I worked upin Helmsdale for a short time beautiful area up there.
