Will lilies grow in Spain?

Postby Jenny1960 » Mon Jan 19, 2015 8:29 pm

Good evening,
I'm going to buy some lily bulbs for my garden here in the UK and wondered if they would also
Grow in Spain? If so, I shall bring some over with me in the spring....

Thanks in advance

seem to grow well here.
My spelling is Wobbly. It's good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.

A lot of flowering bulbs, and lillies, are native to the mediterrenian area so they will do well climate-wise, however we have found that undersoil bugs and slugs can eat the bulbs when they are dormant. Consider keeping them in pots and lift and store after the leaves have died back. Cheers
