Lilium hansonii 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]. Best grown in partial shade, the flowers are bleached in strong sumlight[143]. Lime tolerant[200]. Plants are hardy, easy to grow and long-lived, succeeding in most soils and positions[143]. Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 20 - 25cm 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]. A very ornamental plant[1]. The flowers have a slight but sweet perfume, this decreasing with the increase of pigment in the blooms[245]. Plants seldom produce fertile seed, even when they are hand pollinated[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].
