Latin Name:  Lilium medeoloides
Family:  Liliaceae
Author:  A.Gray.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  0.75   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Damp woods and meadows, occasionally to the sub-alpine zone, in N. and C. Japan[58].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open free-draining humus-rich loamy soil with its roots in the shade and its head in the sun[200]. Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 7 - 12cm deep in practically pure leaf mould with plenty of grit added[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 related to L. distichum and L. tsingtauense[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].
