Question
Why don't my aztec llilies bloom?  They bloomed last year when I got them.  They are in a container in a shady spot.

Answer
Hi Janet

OK - your lilies flowered the year you planted them because they were already 'primed' to flower.

Lilies like to be in sun or partial shade and I believe that your's are sulking because they are in shade!  Also, any plant in a pot needs to be watered every day and feed regularly - a general plant feed will be OK, and remember to change the compost every couple of years so that diseases don't get a chance to build up.

So - water, feed and place your lilies in a sunny spot - there's nothing like a bit of tender, loving care!

Good luck.
