Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Lilium nobilissimum Family: Liliaceae Author: (Mak.)Mak. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 1.7 Mature Width: Habitat: Not known
Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open free-draining humus-rich loamy soil with its roots in the shade and its head in the sun[200].
Not very easy to grow in cultivation, it is best grown in the greenhouse border, succeeding outdoors only in the mildest areas of the country[143],
Stem rooting, plant the bulbs 10 - 15cm deep[1]. 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 flowers are sweetly scented[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].
