I love all Lilies but I love the tiny flowers of Tiger Lilies they are so sweet and delicate. didn't realise they would be so small when I purchased them, but pleasantly surprised.

once the lillies have flowered and been dead headed do they flower again ,or should i take the bulbs out and save for planting next year.

Once the lilly bulbs have flowered and the foliage is diminishing is it best to remove the bulbs or leave them in the pot until spring??
Should they be allowed to dry out completely during the winter once removed from the pot?? If left in the pot should they be fed and watered during the autumn months?

Very little aftercare information in this article.
This is why I stopped buying Gardeners World. Lots of lovely pictures and how and where to plant and then nothing about aftercare, overwintering etc.
Judging by the above comments, these are just the points which beginner gardeners need to know.

I've grown lilies in big baskets and they look fabulous and the blooms last. Also, if you grow lilies in containers you're less likely to have the beetles because you're using fresh soil.

I grow three types of lilies in containers here in Australia and they have been flowering for 3-5 yrs. The longiflorum are looking great for Christmas.

I lift my lillies and store them dry till spring then replant them sometimes get little bulbils or offsets which I plant in small pots and then gradually pot up. I think Carol Klein had some info on this in her latest gardening programme.
