Question

Do long thick leaves grown with the beauty lilies?  Don’t want weeds to take over!?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for the question! The foliage on the yellow and red spider lilies appears during the winter after the bulbs bloom in the late fall. If this is the first year of having your spider lilies planted, the foliage often appears even without the first bloom because it has adjusted to its new home. If you see tufts of grass-like greenery during the winter, that is the foliage of the spider lilies. The fact that the foliage appears during the winter while the nearby grass and weeds are dormant indicates that your spider lilies are healthy and growing. Many people make the mistake of cutting the foliage thinking that it is grass. This will kill the spider lily bulb. The bulb needs the foliage to take in nutrients from the winter sun to help it get through the summer and bloom the next fall. The foliage will die back naturally, and the bulb will go dormant for the summer. I hope this helps.
