Q.Why Has My Flame Lily Got No Red Colour?

Zone NG33 5PU, UK | Anonymous added on July 1, 2024 | Answered

I’m in the UK. I grew it from a pod/root/bulb last year and it was beautiful. I stored it indoors until April/May and it has grown well, now about a meter tall. The flowers are opening but are yellow/green, no sign of red.

Did you leave the vines until the first frost before cutting them back? The vines help regenerate the tubers. Also, they need fertilizer. Here is more:
