Hello, we are planning to move in the spring so, we want to bring our various Easter and giant Lillies with us. How do i store them over the winter for planting next Fall? Thank you.
Cut off any remaining stems and dig the bulbs right away. Bruch off any excess dirt, and let them dry indoors. Brush off any remaining soil after they dry with a brush like a whisk broom. Place them in some cardboard shoeboxes or paper bags filled with sterile potting soil and put them into cool storage. Pick a spot that gets and stays very cool but doesn’t freeze and thaw repeatedly…a cool basement usually works or a garage that is attached to the house that never freezes. Plant in spring one the ground thaws and warms a bit.
