Lilium rubellum 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]. This bulb is very difficult to establish in Britain because it requires plenty of summer moisture with cold, dry conditions in the winter[245]. It has, however, survived for 50 years in the wild garden at Wisley, where it grows in a moist very acid sandy soil[90]. Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 12cm deep in a well-drained sandy loam qith added leaf mold[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 diffuse a rich sweet scent[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 rubellum gardening information |
