Lilium dauricum Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in ordinary garden soil[143]. Prefers an open free-draining humus-rich loamy soil in a sunny position, it rapidly degenerates if grown in shade[143, 200]. Prefers an acid soil but tolerates lime[47, 200]. The dormant bulb is very hardy and has withstood soil temperatures down to -20°c, though the embryonic flower shoot will be damaged at temperatures around -15°c[214]. Stem rooting with a stoloniferous stem base, plant the bulbs 10 - 12cm deep[42, 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]. A very ornamental plant[1]. L. spectabilis, which is said to be a synonym of this species by many botanists, differs from this plant and therefore exists in its own right[74]. 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].
