I have Tiger Lilly,s & Easter Lillys, How can I get them to flower more than twice a summer??

I love my Easter Lillys %26amp; know if in a shady place the flower will not come as soon. Also after the flower if I cut them back . How many times will they flower? I no they spread like wild fire. Thankyou TT

Trim the dead heads back and if the light is good they will often form new buds.
Reply:Most varieties bloom only once. Stella D'Oro is the only one that will bloom again. All lillies should be in full sun or very light partial shade. Try planting other types of plants that will bloom at differrent times so you have a constant show of some color. Annuals will bloom all summer. Perrennials, like the lillies, have certain bloom times.

Reply:I don't know of any way you can. My tiger lily's bloom for a long time, if they are in the sun.
