I had an order of lilies a few years ago that had huge sprouts all curled round and round. Most of the sprouts broke off when I planted them and I got no bloom that year, but the next year I got tons of bloom, and digging to check, the bulbs had increased tremendously.
So, if a lily bulb is sprouted, does it really hurt to remove the sprout? Are you just going to lose a year of bloom, or won't the get enough light to keep them alive sometimes.
