What should you do with wilted blooms on a Tiger Lily plant?
Never ‘pull’ off dead blooms. Always take caution and ‘pinch’ them off. Usually with lilies, it is not absolutely necessary to pinch off dead blooms. Due to the weight of the blooms, they will fall off on their own (unlike other plants that have smaller blooms that don’t necessarily fall off, yet die away). The only downside to this is that you will be required to pick up all the fallen debris. Removing dead blooms and leaves fosters growth of small buds and blossoms. If you have the time, go ahead and carefully remove the dead blooms.
