I received two Miss Lucy bulbs in early 2006 from a famous estate in Virginia, courtesy of a friend there. I planted them both in a large pot right away. In the summer there were two blooms which did not open properly. But wait! This year I have many blooms and they are exquisite. They smell divine, are hard to turn away from and pest free. You will not be disappointed; this lily outshines them all.
I understand nothing needs to be done to overwinter them. Just let them rest where they are.
