One more hardy lilie question.
« on: September 27, 2006, 07:41:52 PM »
I am going to divide some lilies this week. Should I fertilze them?
I am in zone 4.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Folks that use Osmocote type fertilizer usually repot in the spring. I will be repotting soon too but I don't fertilize when I do it, I wait until spring when I start seeing evidence that they are coming out of dormancy. I use tomato spikes for fertilizer.

It's a bit cool to be repoting!  Ideally you would like at least 2-4 weeks of warmer weather to set the roots.  You may want to fertilize with a higher N value to push root growth.
