Lilium canadense flavum 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]. Does well in open woodland 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]. A very ornamental plant[1], unlike the main species this form is easily grown in Britain[143]. Polymorphic, there are a number of sub-species. Closely related to L. michiganense. Hybridizes in nature with L. superbum but does not hybridize readily in the garden[143]. Stoloniferous[200], the bulbs should be planted 15 - 25cm 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]. Never plant out in the spring[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].
