Are Lillies annuals or perennials?
Question:When is the best time to to plant lillies? and are they perennials?

Answers:
Lillies do not come from bulbs they come from corms or rhizomes. They are perennials and some are repeat bloomers. In other words they bloom more than once although not all of them do.

My lillies are perennials but every couple of years you are supposed to dig up the bulbs and replant. The also usually grow more bulbs thus multiplying themselves. Plant in the spring.
All Lillies are perennials from bulbs. You should plant the bulbs as soon as you can after you get them. Since Lillies are never really dormant, they need moisture year round. Avoid planting in windy sites.
Good Luck!!
They are perennials ! Called no hassle plants. Spring to mid summer is best to plant.
All lilies are perennials, if they are grown in the proper zone. Lilies can be planted in both spring or fall. When planted in spring they get a change to become established, increasing the chance that they will return the following year...at least that's my experience with them. Hope this helps!
They are bulbs so they are perennials. They can be left in the ground but should be covered with mulch in the colder states. They can be dug up and separated in the early spring for they are busy mulitiplying in the late fall. You should end up with quite a few new bulbs in the spring!
There are different kinds of Lillies. There are Easter Lillies, Day lilies and Tiger lillies and many others. And yes, they are perennials. Spring and fall are the best time to plant them, although I have planted a couple in the late summer, but it is very hard on the plants, and I have been lucky that they came back the following year. Below are some pictures of the two different kinds I have, which are extremely hardy plants. I never have to do anything special to the ground before winter, and we have very extreme cold weather here in SD. And both spread and can be divided in spring and fall.
True lilies are bulbs and perenials, so you would plant the bulbs in the fall. Daylillies are also perenials, but grow from roots. They multiply easily, but I would not transplant daylilies until after frost has killed the tops. Then dig up, separate into several plants, and replant.
