Latin Name:  Lilium pardalinum
Common Name:  Panther lily
Family:  Liliaceae
Author:  Kellogg.
 
Known Hazards:  None known
 
Mature Height:  2   Mature Width:  0.3
 
Habitat:  Stream banks and springy places to 2000 metres, forming large colonies near the coastal range[47, 71].



Cultivation Notes:  Succeeds in almost any soil that is moist but not water-logged[47, 143]. Prefers a wet soil on a slope or a well-drained soil with a high water table[90]. Tolerates lime[47, 90, 163]. Succeeds in full sun but rapidly deteriorates if grown in deep shade[143]. Fairly wind resistant but is best grown in a sheltered position[47, 143]. Very ornamental and easily grown[1], the plant is rhizomatous, forming clumps[47]. The plant increases rapidly by division, each bulb producing 5 new bulbs per year[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]. 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].
