Julie on May 24, 2013Thanks! :) My mother-in-law planted them years ago (she's gone now), we bought the house, and they've shown up the last couple of springs. I'm cross stitching the pic on the left, so I thought I better find out what it is!Helpful Reply

Julie on May 24, 2013Will it need to be divided at some point? Do lilies ever need that?Helpful Reply

Julie on May 24, 2013Are these (orange & yellows below) the same thing? They're in a different bed. Resemble the pink ones.Helpful Reply

Barb Rosen on May 24, 2013Yes, they come in different colors. In a few years the lilies will form a clump and you can dig up and separate them - they multiply!Helpful Reply

Lori J on May 26, 2013And for the record, what we usually call day lilies are not true lilies--but I love them anyway. As for Asiatics, any suggestions on when is the best time of year to divide?Helpful Reply

Julie on May 26, 2013Yes Lori, I have the same question! I've never divided before, but will have to soon with the flower beds here... the lilies, tulips, and the iris'.... Little overwhelming! Are different flowers divided at different times? Thanks Marj --those are LOVELY! I'd pick those if planting them myself (the Asiatics were already here). Always looking for fragrant flowers! Thanks to everybody else!! This is such a great place to ask questions & actually get an educated answer :)Helpful Reply

Lumen Castaneda on May 26, 2013I divide my Asiatic lilies in the fall so by winter they will be dormant and come up aggressively in spring. Come to think of it, it will be time to divide mine this fall. The clumps are big now.Helpful Reply

Lori J on May 26, 2013Good to know. I have three clumps to divide.Helpful Reply

Marj on May 27, 2013Yes, I also divide in the fall once the flowers have been through their cycle. It's easier to remember what colors are where and to decide where you want to put the divides :) Just remember, any tiny bulb you find around the clump will also be a flower some day so don't throw them away! I know Iris' are rhizomes and tend to stay close to the surface. You'll have to look up a tutorial on youtube for those, they usually suggest cleaning them with bleach water when dividing those. Happy gardening!Helpful Reply

Andrea C on Sep 14, 2013My lilies are very tiny after a few years. What do you do to grow them so large? Did you originally plant blubs or get plants from the nursery?Helpful Reply
