Lilium henryi 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]. Prefers a limey soil[200]. Succeeds in acid and limey soils according to one report[90], whilst another says that it does not tolerate acid soil conditions[245]. A very ornamental plant[1], it is very easily grown and is one of the most virus-tolerant of lilies[90]. It is also a fast-growing plant, onion-sized flowering bulbs can be obtained in 2 years from seed[K]. The flowers have a pleasant sweet perfume[245]. 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]. 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].
