I fertilize with Bulb Food, and the lily bulbs also get inadvertenly fertilized by composted manure, since they're in a bed close to peonies that I put it on. My Shocking had close to 100 blooms this summer, and seems to be multipliyng well, with really thick stems. How long have you had the lily bulbs that seem to be pooping out, and how do you fertilize them? I'm still a newbie when it comes to the lilies, so I'll be interested to see what is said about why the lilies might decrease their blooming. Would they also decrease blooming if they need to be divided? |
