Here's the answer to your Plant Problem...

You asked:

How do I Propagate Lilies from Bulbils?

Our Advice:

Some types of lily form tiny embryo bulbs in the leaf axils on the stem as the season progresses. These may be shed naturally or spread as the stem collapses at the end of the season. If you wish to increase your collection or share the plants with friends, it is worth harvesting the bulbils to sow.
