Brandy,
I found is about your lilies. EE should be the same.
"Do not plant the bulbs outdoors until all danger of frost is past. You may start the bulbs indoors a few weeks before the last frost so that they are already growing before setting them outside."
Hope this helps,
Dorothy

Dorothy is right, after danger of frost is past.

In zone 8, that shouldn't be too long. If it were me,
I would just wait unless I planned to leave the bulbs in containers. (I'm a bit lazy.)

They do multiply rapidly. I carefully spaced bulbs in a bed. The following year, it was completely filled with lilies. I need to dig this year and get rid of some bulbs. Missed doing it last fall because of the kids' accidents.

It does. Thanks, I wasnt sure if they needed the cold spell. What should I do just leave them laying in an empty pot in the GH?

Hey dorthy keep me in mind if you want to work out a trade when you dig them up. I hope your kids are okay. Im lazy as well. Some of these Lilies get pretty tall according to the sellers so I think in the ground will be my best bet.

Brandy if you have room in the GH.
I would plant them in pots then transplant them in them to the garden in the spring.
Dorothy

Brandy...it was Amelia that will be doing the digging.

Amelia...what happen with the kids? Everything ok now???

Dorothy

LOL Dorthy I guess your just on my brain. LOL So you dont think they would be hurt during the transplant if I plant them now. I would think it would give them more time to multiply. HMMM! Guess I know what will be going in the one free corner. LOL

Transplanting shouldn't hurt them if you decide to plant now.

Kids are actually young adults. Son was in a serious motorcycle accident in July - multiple injuries, some life-threatening. Daughter was in a minor auto accident in October - surgery on her hand. Both are living at home now.

H and I were glad to see 2008 end!

Sorry about the kids amelia. The asiatic lillies are hardy here. I leave mine in the ground and it pots outside and they do fine but don't multiply too quickly. I don't know about the others. I think it would be best to start them all in pots and then transplant in the spring. Once they are established they can be left outside.

Ameilia sorry to hear about your babies.. I hope they are both on the mend!!! and Thank God it wasn't worse than it was...
Brandy the EE probably won't be hardy for you ..I dig mine and they don't spread real fast or mine didn't anyway.. Good Luck with them!!!
