Asiatic lilies don't mind cold weather and poor soil. Asiatic lilies, available in a rainbow of pink, orange and yellow hues, add a bit of cheer to your spring and summer garden. After your lilies finish blooming for the summer, they begin to fade and enter a state of dormancy. When a lily stops blooming, you may be tempted to cut down the whole plant down. Lily bulbs take energy from their leaves and stems, however, so removing foliage too early will cut off your plant's source of nutrients.
