    Hello gardeners

    Just wondered,, can one prune or cut back Lilies , to get more blooms ?
    I have 6 plants that are stalky with 1 flower per stem, So will cutting the stems
    make it flower more or get a fuller plant.

    Also, the care of after finished blooming?

    Thanks

    These are bulbs like tulips that make one stem and one set of flowers per year. You don't cut anything that hasn't matured and shriveled off except the spent flowers (to prevent unneeded seed pod formation).
