Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Lilium cernuum Family: Liliaceae Author: Komar. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 0.6 Mature Width: 0.25 Habitat: Exposed positions amongst grass and shrubs on alluvial soils and amongst slate rocks[143].
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[200].
Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 10 - 12cm 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 plants are short lived in cultivation.
The plant is well suited to growing at the foot of a rock garden[143].
The flowers are sweetly scented[245].
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].
