You might not have thought to grow lilies in pots, but once you try it, you are bound to be addicted for life. From large, flamboyant flowers for cutting to smaller, naturalistic forms, they are always a total pleasure to the senses.
Lilies are one of the very best summer bulbs to fill your garden with a dramatic jolt of color and heavenly perfume. To grow lilies in pots successfully, one needs very little understanding of the plant’s botany, since they are remarkably unfussy plants that get on with flowering their socks off all summer long. Happily, there is no need to lift and store them over winter; they are far happier left in the soil, and they will return year after year, providing perennial pleasure.
