Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Lilium distichum Family: Liliaceae Author: Nak. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 1 Mature Width: 0.25 Habitat: Moist and shady broadleaved woodlands[74, 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]. Grows well in open woodland, preferring a shady position[143].
Stem rooting, plant bulbs 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. tsingtauense[200].
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].
