Don’t Throw Away Your Easter Lilies
Advice from Preston Wolf of Wolf Floral Company explains how to overwinter Easter lilies, focusing on the hardy Giganteum type. Dig up the bulb after blooming, plant in deep soil with full sun, protect deeply in winter with leaves, and replant for a July bloom next year. A Washington woman reportedly has kept a Giganteum blooming for five seasons using this method.
