lilies

17 years ago

I really want to start a hybrid lily garden. I live in south florida where we rarely ever get a hard freeze. Will I have to dig up the bulbs every year and refrigerate them? Any info would be very helpful, I'm just beginning to learn about gardening. thanks

In a word YES. and tulips, daffodils, camassia, cinium, frittillaria, and and and and. lol. If its a bulb that will last in the ground over winter like up here in NY you need to freeze them for at least 8 weeks.
