Treatment of Bulbs After Flowering. Bulbs will not ripen if the tops are cut very soon after flowering. For best results, do not remove the tops before late June, or until leaves turn brown. When cutting flowers cut as few leaves as possible, and do not cut the entire stem of a lily. Never lift any bulbs, if it is possible to wait, before the tops are brown and limp. If bulbs must be removed to make way for other plants, take roots, top and all—some soil also with the roots.Heel-in, not too close together, in a shady spot until the tops commenceto die. Autumn-flowering bulbs also should be allowed to ripen be-fore removal for winter storage. |
