Or, you can do what I do in zone 5 a. People keep giving me lilies I can\'t fit into the ground, so several of my lilies in pots stay in the pots. I put them pot and all in the back of the garage under an old quilt, and maybe I remember to water them a bit once a month, although I discovered two years ago I don\'t even have to do that!!!! They sense the warmer weather and sprout, and I take the pots and put in compost and bulb food and water them,and they get bigger every year.

One of them is Royal Sunset, because the color doesn\'t work in my yard. It has been overwintering- and increasing, for three years.
