Lilies are superior long-lasting cut flowers, sometimes lasting longer in the vase than in the garden. For fresh-cut garden lilies, you can expect every bud to open and have far better quality and color than hot-house commercial lilies. For best survival of the bulb, do not cut over 2/3 of the stem. Leave plenty of leaves behind to sustain and nourish the bulb for next year. Best varieties for cutting are tall, up facing-flower types in all lily categories.
