Do Asiatic Lily flowers grow back if blewn away?

I purchased a beautiful orange Asiatic Lily about a month ago in Western New York. It lasted two weeks but then we had one really windy and cold day. The following morning the flowers were blewn away. The stem and leaves are still bright and green but what of the flowers? Will they come back this summer? Is there anything I could do to help. I%26#039;m a novice when it comes to gardening.

Do Asiatic Lily flowers grow back if blewn away?
No, they won%26#039;t come back this summer but next spring they will since they are bulbs. They work like tulips and daffodils. I would cover the plant with some mulch in the winter to help keep it warm.





Good luck!
Reply:Lilies usually only bloom once a year. Overwinter them and they should bloom again next year.
Reply:I, too, live in Western NY...Upstate. It%26#039;s doubtful they will bloom again this year, but they will come back again next year. Fertilize %26amp; leave it be. Don%26#039;t clip anything off. In the Fall, when the stalk turns brown, you can clip that back.
Reply:I have Asiatic lillies in my garden. They grow from a bulb. If the flowers are removed, the bulb will be o.k. but the flower won%26#039;t grow again this season. It will come back up next season. Leave the leaves and stem to turn yellow on their own. Some people remove them because it doesn%26#039;t look very pretty but it%26#039;s better for the bulb to leave the foliage turn yellow. The bulb is simply putting it%26#039;s energy into itself rather than the foliage and you%26#039;ll have better flowers next year.
