| I just purchased a bunch of lilies on clearance and then I found out that they are Asiatic Pot Lilies from the "Tiny" line. Mine are called "Tiny Ghost". I can't find any information on "Pot Lilies". Are they the same as regular Asiatic lilies? Can I plant them in the ground and expect them to come up next year or do they need to be in a pot? I can't imagine them needing to be in a pot, but want to be sure. The tag says they are okay in my zone (5). Can anyone verify? I have not grown any lilies before. Thanks. |

| I googled "pot" lilies and they said they are the smaller version can be planted in pots or front border. Hope this helps |

| Thank you! I googled too, but I couldn't find much. They must be fairly new. |

| I just bought some this year too, tiny ghost and tiny todd...couldnt find any info when i googled it..they had better come back, they are gorgeous! I cant see why they wouldnt. I planted mine in several areas in my yard. They look just like all my other asiatic lilies. All pot lilies I have ever bought I planted outside, and they have all done well. Good luck! |

| I can't wait until they bloom next year. They were done when I got them and those pictures are awesome! Thanks for all the info! |

| I purchased my Asiatic Pot Lilies 'Tiny Ghost' from a home improvement store May 2008. The tag said "Lily Looks" and had website printed on the label. I went to the site and found lots of good info. They also have a Q/A page with more good info. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lily Looks

| Thanks lretta... this year my lilies are covered with buds and they have multiplied. I have about 3-4 stems for each stem I had last year... incredible! I will try to post pics after they bloom. |

| I planted two pots of Tiny Ghost last year. They came back incredibly strong and healthy this year, and have multiplied to three stems each (from one). I love them and everyone comments about them. They are more deep blood red than purple in my garden. Mine are in full bloom, but I am horrible at posting pics. I'll see if I can figure it out. |
