Lilium formosanum 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]. This species is not fully hardy outside the mildest parts of Britain, it is best grown as an annual or biennial in a cool greenhouse, and can flower in a year from seed[143]. The form 'Price's var' is an alpine form of the species, it breeds true from seed and it is hardy if grown in a sheltered spot in the rock garden[143]. The flowers diffuse a delicious sweet perfume[245]. Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 20cm 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[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].
