Lilium canadense editorum Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open free-draining humus-rich loamy soil with its roots in the shade and its head in the sun[200]. Dislikes lime[42]. This sub-species is said to be lime tolerant[163, 200]. Does well in open woodland[1, 143]. Succeeds in partial shade but rapidly degenerates in deep shade[143]. The dormant bulbs are very hardy and will withstand soil temperatures down to at least -10°c[214]. Stoloniferous[200], the bulbs should be planted 15 - 25cm deep[143]. Only replant in autumn, never in spring[143]. A very ornamental plant[1], unlke the main species, this form is easily grown in Britain[143]. Polymorphic[143]. It hybridizes in nature with L. superbum but it does not hybridize readily in the garden[143]. Closely allied to L. michiganense[143]. The plant should be protected against rabbits and slugs in early spring. If the shoot tip is eaten out the bulb will not grow in that year and will lose vigour[200].
