Lilies benefit from being lifted or divided every three to five years to stay vibrant and vigorous.
Spring or early summer is the best time to assess which lilies will need to be lifted. If the new growth on a clump is spindly, the stems shorter than usual and the flower buds narrower than in past years, these changes in appearance signal that the bulbs may be overcrowded. Or, the soil may have become compacted over the years or the lily beetle may have been chomping on the leaves, weakening the stems. Mark these clumps as in need of division.
Mark the spot where you plant lilies with the variety name and if you planted bulbs or bulblets. It’s amazing what we forget over winter. This column is provided courtesy of the Saskatchewan Perennial Society. Reach the society by email at
