Can This Years Summer Bulbs That Never Got Planted, Survive Somehow, Until Spring?

Question

I just found a bag of lilies that I’d bought in the spring – I forgot all about them. I know, bad, right?? just wondering if there was any way to overwinter until spring. any suggestion are appreciated.

Answer 1

If these are true lilies, such as Asiatic lilies or oriental lilies, they are winter hardy so you can go ahead and plant them. If they are tender lilies such as calla lilies or canna lilies, neither of which are true lilies, they can be overwintered as if they were dug up. Here is more:
