Is it too early to plant Oriental lily bulbs in large pots in Salt Lake City, Utah, Zone 6-7? Our frost-free date for planting here is May 15, but I was thinking Oriental lilies are planted sooner than that, but is it too soon for planting them in large pots, rather than directly in the ground, where they would be more protected on the sides from the cold?
Today I planted the following seeds: Black Swan Poppy, Oriental Poppy, California Poppy, Nicotiana sylvestris, datura, lettuces, arugula, parsnips, turnips, Nemophila, fragrant sweet peas, larkspur, radishes, yellow hollyhocks, forget-me-nots, & wild blue flax, a la winter sowing. Also a big sack of wildflower seed.
