yellow lilliesWhen yellow lillies are done blooming do they need cut back? if so when?


Question
When yellow lillies are done blooming do they need cut back an how long after finished? Thank you

Answer
Hi Sue,
Thanx for your question.  I would cut off the spent blooms but don't cut off any of the leaves.  The leaves are storing sugars for next years bloom and growth.  Once you have had a frost or in the autumn if the leaves turn brown and shrivel then you may trim them off without harming the plant.  I hope this helps.
Tom
