Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Lilium callosum Family: Liliaceae Author: Sieb.&Zucc. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 1 Mature Width: Habitat: Riverside meadows and meadow slopes[74].
Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open free-draining humus-rich loamy soil with its roots in the shade and its head in the sun[200]. Lime tolerant[143, 200]. Plants are quite hardy if they are grown in full sun[143].
Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 15cm deep[143]. Early to mid autumn is the best time to plant out the bulbs in cool temperate areas, in warmer areas they can be planted out as late as late autumn[200].
Closely allied to L. pumilum[143].
The plant should be protected against slugs in early spring. If the shoot tip is eaten out the bulb will not grow in that year and will lose vigour[200].
