    My lilies have now finished flowering and I don't know what to do next. Do I leave them to die back or cut them down? Do I remove the bulbs over winter? Thanks for any help.

    Your lillies should be fine Liz.
    You don't say if you have them in pots or in the ground, but either way it shouldn't matter.
    Let them die back and give them a good sprinkle of Fish, Blood and Bone - or a fertiliser of your choice - and wait for the show next year.
    I had some in pots for years then planted them in the ground. They were equally happy either way.
