I had a lot of lilies that were planted in pots and now transplanted to the big beds.......
and not one of them bloomed when they were supposed to in the pots.......many of them later then earlier...........that was odd
but spring will right them to where they belong for blooming.........
The one thing I like about planting new variety in the spring time is that you can space out the planting a bit to increase the blooming period.........
if you plant them in the fall........they come up and bloom at the same time
pro and con's to both
but most of mine are still going in the fall.................I am planting more trumpets in this fall and I know they do not do well in the colder temps but for some reason they like my place..........hahaha. Never lost a trumpet ever in years and years......... I love the trumpet lilies........... Will NEED really good mulch in them to make it through the winter time here and leave the mulch on in the springtime later since sure as @@@@ the frost will make an appearance and lily shoots will be up and a repeat of last year
this year has not been my year for lilies at all...............so many are trampled and broke off and so on............
if anything comes up next year it might look like first year stock.........instead but it will still be nice......
oddly enough the bulbs that never took any abuse from anything here this summer ...........were my trumpets............
