I have moved from my old home and went back to dig up my madonna lillies because they were from my mom who got them from my grandma and they both have passed away...so I want to keep them going...I was wondering..is it ok to plant them now? I dont want to mess up the growing cycle...any ideas?
Thanks

Yes, you can go ahead and plant them. Have they finished blooming? Do they still have the old stems attached? If so, leave the stems and foliage so they can get strength for next year's blooms. BTW, I love Madonna lilies...they are so pretty and smell really nice. I had some several years ago, but for some reason they died after about 3 years. I think it was one summer when it was really wet and they rotted.
