Buds on lilies!

18 years ago

In Oct. my mom and I bought 6 lily bulbs and planted them in pots. They have been growing and growing and now have buds...Our weather has been quite warm until this week; today is 43. They are outside on the patio; should I put them inside the garage or indoors? I would love to see the blooms; the tag had "salmon classic" on it.

Thanks.

They need bright light, so do not move them indoors or in a garage. Keep them as cool as you can, and avoid hot afternoon sun. Also water regularily (I would say daily). You can give them quite a bit of shade in your area, but not dark conditions.
