I lift lilies, too. Will bag them with peatmoss in the crisper drawer.

Might I ask: when you dig them up, are just letting them dry out and put on a shelf or bag up somehow? I've been on the web, mostly just seeing images and short descriptions but nothing specific about NY\NJ growing area.msdworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16919343377615220513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-68133245752363446722017-09-14T23:47:46.939-04:002017-09-14T23:47:46.939-04:00So sorry, missed this.

I use it for infusions and drinks. My Eucomis are in pots and I will be digging them up and bringing them indoors for winter. Faint scent.<br />Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-69585786159355453762017-09-14T23:45:54.077-04:002017-09-14T23:45:54.077-04:00I plan to dig them up - this will be their first w...I plan to dig them up - this will be their first winter. And I will order more next year - one of the very best plants in the garden this year. BTW - my potted plants did MUCH better than the ones in ground, I think the pH was too low for them Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-2373013690458342172017-09-14T14:39:51.252-04:002017-09-14T14:39:51.252-04:00Marie? the Eucomis autumnalis?

I was at Metropolitan Plant in Fort Lee and there were two beautiful pots of this for sale, but no one there knew what they were or if they would be ok over the winter. I so wanted to buy the both but only if I could plant in the yard so they would live for next year.<br />msdworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16919343377615220513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-72558203337897337302017-08-18T23:21:58.594-04:002017-08-18T23:21:58.594-04:00Are you able to leave the eucomis autumnalis in th...Are you able to leave the eucomis autumnalis in the ground, or do you store those in the frigo as well? I read in catalogues that E. autumnalis is "sweetly fragrant" - is it true? I know some eucomis have a somewhat foul scent. Does Citrus hystris have a common name? What do you use the fruit for?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
