I tried Agapanthus in a pot this spring and was so pleased that I plan to dig most of them and pot. Maybe I'll pot Lilies, too. I used to have Muscadet, need it again.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beauty, and a wonderful photograph.
ReplyDeleteWhen you store the lilies for the winter, in order for them to go dormant, do you water them at all?
ReplyDeleteThanks for answer! ) Love your blog!
This is a cheerful colorful lily. Love the red spots.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Is it fragrant as well? I am surprised it even has to go in the basement, as there are quite a few lilies surviving in big containers here in our neighborhood that are out on the sidewalk year-round. Or is it just so the bare pot is out of sight in the winter?
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it would probably be okay left outside. The main reason I do it is to protect the pot. When I leave pots out, they tend to crack and break when we have icy weather.
DeleteVery nice. I think I now have a few new options for a few of the containers on my deck, thanks to you.

What a beauty! I would never have thought of putting lilies in pots--thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I like that it only grows to 2 feet.
