Question
I bought one ..planted it..and it bloomed. Blooms have now fallen off. Will this continue to produce new blooms and if so, what should I do if anything..to facilitate the new blooms?

Answer
Robert,

Asiatic lilies bloom one time per growing season.  Once they bloom and all the petals fall off just let the stalk remain until it turns brown/yellow them cut back to the ground.  The stalk is getting nutrients to the bulbs during this time.  Rest assured,  they'll come back next year and may have even multiplied.
