How to Cut Back Lillies
- 1). Choose which stalks you wish to cut off. Only the stalks supporting flowers should be trimmed when you are pruning a lily.
- 2). Select a spot about 80 percent up the lily stalk.
- 3). Cut the lily's stalk at the position you selected in the previous step.
- 4). Prune off other stalks in this manner until you have made all the necessary or desired cuts.
