But sometimes he sees a neighbor more magnificent and abundant flowering of this plant and does not understand what his mistake, that his lilies bloom is much more modest. It is usually connected with the timing of the trimming of bushes, the flowers on which were already brought. It turns out that cropping lilies is a whole science that should not be neglected.
How do lily grow?
Lilies are perennial plants and in one place can grow several years. They love quite fertile soil, but will develop on the poorer. These flowers prefer sunny places, but the half of their bloom is also not a hindrance. They do not like a thick shadow and very heavy and wet clay soils.
During the flowering of lilies, they make luxurious bright colors that are combined with many other plants. This property will be very useful when we consider the question of raking lilies.

What time frame after flowering crop lilies?
As already mentioned above, Lily is increasing the bulb in the ground, but for this she needs an active photosynthesis from the outside. It is understood that her leaves and stems should get enough sunny color not only during flowering, but after its end. That is why lilies are not recommended to cut until they sneeze themselves - it will happen closer to autumn.
The only exception is the seed box that grows on the site of the former flower. It needs to be removed as soon as it fully forms and do it better manually, i.e. Just break. If you leave the seed box on the bush, then the plant will begin to spend the forces on the ripening of seeds.
Many gardeners cut the stalks of lilies immediately after the flow of the plant so that unsightly stalks do not spoil the kind of flower beds. In this case, they are better to disguise other plants with lush leaves. Lilies can be satisfied with hosts - their beautiful leaves will hide stems without colors.

So that in the spring it is visible where lily grew. It is in this form that they go to winter. In the spring, truth from the remaining hemp can not be left at all. To protect the place of landing, lilies can be additionally marked with bamboo chopsticks - they do not decompose under the snow.
Lilies withstand the transplant at any time of their vegetation. Spring is suitable for this, when sprouts appeared from the ground. In the summer, during flowering, these flowers can also be replant, but then immediately after this procedure, it is necessary to cut all the colors and buds, and the stem is not throne. In the fall of lilies are transplanted as they grow on the garden, i.e. with only broken seed boxes.
