Help! Lily Sprouts

Orangeburg, SC

I'm a newbie to growing lilies. I planted some asiatics and a few oriental lilies late winter/early spring. They bloomed just fine and died down. While looking around my flower beds, I notice that some have already begun to sprout. Is that normal for this time of the year? Won't a freeze hurt them? What should I do?

Are you seeing little green leaflets at the base of the stems? Not to worry, you're probably having babies! Particularly on the asiatics, they produce stem bulblets that sometimes sprout a bit. You don't need to do anything at all ~ they'll be fine.

Whew! That's a relief. They are babies. I couldn't figure out what was going on as so many strange things have been happening in the garden this year. Thanks.

It has been a strange year, indeed. :)
