Lilium concolor 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[143, 200]. Prefers an acid sandy soil but also succeeds on heavy soils[47, 143]. Plants are lime tolerant[47, 143, 200]. Requires a sheltered position if grown outdoors, doing well on a rock garden, but it is best grown in a greenhouse[163] Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 7 - 10 cm deep[143, 200]. 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]. A very ornamental plant[1], it is cultivated for its edible bulb in Japan[2]. 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]. For further Lilium concolor gardening information |
