- 1). Cut stems of African lily to enjoy in a flower bouquet whenever you like. Trimming existing flower stalks promotes the lateral growth of your plant, for more blooming stalks.
- 2). Pinch off dead flower blossoms after they fade to keep your plant attractive. Grasp the blossom between your fingers and pinch to remove it.
- 3). Trim all stalks back to 1 inch above ground level in late fall, when they finish blooming. Discard the spent leaves and stalks. Cover the plant with a layer of mulch or compost to protect it from cold weather. In spring, the lilies will emerge again.
