Lilies 
With very few exceptions all Lilies are as well suited for potculture as 
for outdoor planting; they prefer a partial shade and for making strong 
plants like to be left undisturbed for years the less the bulbs are left 
to dry out, the better it will be; a slight cover in winter and some pro¬ 
tection from high winds later on is to be recommended.
