Lily plant

[southportram]

I bought a lily plant a few weeks ago, it has now flowered and the heads have fell off! is that all I am going to get from it or will it grow again next year? I don't have any room in the garden for it, so I can't plant it outside, but if I chop it down or anything, will it re-flower?! or do I just put it in the bin and buy another one next year lol?!

I assume your Lily is in a pot? if so it will over winter quite nicely as long as you keep it outside. It will come up again next year. It may be preferable to repot it into a contaner one size up and give it a little food around April/May time, anything like a sprinkling of Fish, blood and bone around the top of the pot, or if you prefer when you repot add a few seeds of Osmacote, or water with tomarite or baby bio or any other food.
As a little addendum if your lily has little black seeds at the leaf joints ( not all do), you can nip these off and pot them up giving even more plants that will flower in a year or two.
