How do you overwinter voodoo lilies?

Remove the bloom when it fades, but allow the stalk to remain on the voodoo lily bulb until it withers. Voodoo lily plants are hardy in USDA zones 6 through 10. In cooler zones, you can lift the bulb for indoor storage after the foliage is killed back by frost. The bulb has no special storage requirements.

Do voodoo lilies bloom every year?

The voodoo lily will only bloom when it is mature, and even then it may not bloom every year. It blooms in late winter, before the foliage emerges. In areas where there is little or no frost, like USDA zones 10 through 11, this means it can bloom outside where its fetid smell may be dispersed somewhat.
