Good morning my garden friends, I am Vinita and have just joined this garden . Was really thrilled to see this website because I didn't know anything about it. It just happened whilst searching some tips about fireball lilies. So, my worry is---
The fireball lilies that I bought and planted in a big pot at the end of May have not sprouted yet. For the first 3-4 weeks I left them in my green house and then moved the pot indoors. ( as the weather looked quite cold) . I am keeping a close eye on them and very hopeful. Any suggestions please............

Have you looked at the bottom of the pot? often they will throw roots out before other growth, and make sure you don't keep them too wet before growth starts, if in any doubt just tap one out of the pot and have a look if it is still healthy, you can always pot it back up
