Latin Name:  Lilium leichtlinii maximowiczii
Family:  Liliaceae
Author:  (Reg.)Bak.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  1.2   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Humus-rich soils in river valleys and amongst grass on hills[47].

Cultivation Notes: Requires a light humus-rich acid soil and plenty of moisture in late spring[47]. Should succeed in a cool well-drained peat, leaf-mould and sand mix with shelter from the midday sun[42]. Best grown in a greenhouse border in Britain[1]. This species could be one of the parents of L. lancifolium[90]. Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 15cm deep[42, 200]. 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]. This form is said to be much easier to grow than the species[42], though this is not necessarily true[47] 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].
