Continued care of Easter Lily?

After my lily died off in the spring I repotted it in a larger pot with fresh soil and left it outside. I figured I had nothing to lose. It now has beautiful blooms again. What's the best way to take continued care of it, after the blooms die off, in the Ct. north east winter? T/u.

Sounds like you got lucky, Ms. Green Thumb. I would just house it in the basement or garage in a bag until early Spring or plant it in the ground.
This site suggests digging up the bulb(s) for the winter or protecting the plant in the ground (I know yours is in a pot) with straw. Good luck!http://www.gardenguides.com/70129-care-easter-lilies.html
Since it is in a pot,you can bring it into your garage,basement,out building,etc. for the winter.
I agree with Diana. Over winter it in a building that will give it the cold it needs to die back. It should regrow in the spring when you put it back out in the spring.
