Advice on Lilly Plant

lilly2946 · 2005-07-08 09:23:22

I have a huge lilly plant outside my house and I am just wondering do i cut it down when all the flowers are gone to make it stronger for next year or do I just let the leaves wither away. Any advice greatly appreciated as I love this plant and dont want to ruin it. Thanks :)

when its finished it should wither and die back to nothing.Leave it unless you've got a ot of dead foliage which is unsightly in which case yiu can carefully remove it.The plant doesnt need to be pruned and will flower again next year without any special care!
