What's been growing with my lilies?
in Plants
Hello
Any thoughts on this pretty purply-blue flower that's been growing in a tub of lilies?
Also will the pot be ok on the patio for the winter? We normally hide the lily pots under the deck for the winter but then they can get leggy when they sprout in the spring before we remember to bring them out
Thanks

Does the pot have drainage holes?
Yes the tub has drainage holes. We have 5 pots of lilies this year after I divided two very congested pots, so more to consider this winter. My husband says they're more vulnerable in pots than in the ground but I'm not sure really
As long as the ground's well drained.
Not sure that lobelia is a winter flower though, so now I've cut the lilies back it might just shiver a bit!
I put it in the greenhouse over winter and it flowers for much of that time, has a snooze in the spring and then flowers all summer till next spring.
Just as well I remembered because this year I put it in a bed to get more colour there - might have forgotten all about it!
The mallow that's in there would be fine but the pelargonum would definitely not like it outside!
