Tree Lilies

Hi there
Just wondered if anyone else has tried the Tree Lily bulbs this year.
I am usually pretty good at growing most things and lilies are literally potting up the bulbs.
But these bulbs have been pretty disastrous. I bought 12 and I have literally only had
5 pop up and three of these have wilted away.
I was really looking forward to growing these tall lilies.
Just wondered if it is just me or has anyone else had a poor show with them.
Thanks
Liz

 

Yes mine are from the same supplier.
I have never had a problem with bulbs before.
I probably planted mine late April.
Only one is looking strong and healthy.

 

I have 3 in the garden in their third year & I have about 25 bulbs I got from J Parkers wholesale this year & they are all growing well.

 

We bought four from Wilkinsons about April time. Three are growing well and are about 6" high, but 1 has only just come through.

 

I usually start my lillies out in pots. Keep them in a sheltered spot.
And only plant them out once I see some growth.

 

Hiya John. That's what I did, just left them in the ground, planted around 8" deep.

 

No, I don't dig them up.
But when I first buy them and they come in the bags I always feel they may have been knocked about a bit.
If they are given a bit of extra care, and then planted out, it will help them become established long term?

 

I bought the Wilkos ones, planted them in February and they are 2ft high now.
