Saving Your Easter Lily

Here is a tip for what to do with your Easter lily when it is done blooming.  Do not throw it away.  You can save the bulb and plant it outdoors…..

 Post-holiday care is easy. After the flowers fade, remove the lily flowers and clip any browning leaves. Place the plants in a sunny area and water as the foliage matures. As soon as the danger of frost is past, plant the lily in a sunny, well-drained garden spot. Place the bulbs a few inches deeper than they were in the pot. Fertilize with an all-purpose garden fertilizer at this time.
