Garden Tips:
Overwintering Asiatic Lilies in containers: submitted by Linda Curtis (Winnipeg, MB)
“I just wanted to let you know that an overwintering experiment for Asiatic lilies worked and with about 15-20 bulbs split into 3 containers, at least 80-90% immerged and are healthy. One bulb had rotted. I did this for two reasons, first, to keep the rabbits from eating them and second to contain any lily beetle infestation to this area where I could check easily. I cleared the lilies out of the rest of the garden. The container sizes were: 2 -19inch wide by 18 inch deep and tapering slightly to the ground and one was 15 inches wide and 15 inches deep. They were made of fiberglass and for winter I put 2 in my sunroom out of the wind and somewhat protected and the other I left outside near the house with bubble wrap around it. I’m hoping this fall to leave them where they are but huddle them together, wrap and put leaves on top of each. It will be exciting to see the blooms in the next few weeks. They’re about 6 inches high at the moment.”a
