Lilium nepalense 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]. Plants should be kept dry from November to April and are therefore best grown in a greenhouse border[90, 143]. The stem is running and rooting underground[90]. Bulbs should be planted about 20cm deep in almost pure leafmold with added charcoal[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]. A very ornamental plant[1]. The flowers are usually malodorous[188]. The flowers have a strong scent of indole[245]. 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]. For further Lilium nepalense gardening information |
