Re: Help! - Lilies gotta go

Yes, it is a shame it is Silk Road.  They did space them out about 18 inches
apart in a line, so each will have it's own individual root clump.
Unfortunately, the only places I can find to accomodate them are in full
sun.  If the move is successful and they survive, I thought I'd cut the
blooms off  so all energy would go into leaves, stem, roots, and finally
into the bulb.
