Lilium sargentiae 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]. Does well on calcareous soils according to some reports[1, 143] whilst others say that it dislikes lime[42, 147]. Dislikes a very peaty soil[143]. Requires a warm growing season with a neutral or alkaline soil[90]. Prefers a sunny position[42, 143]. Does well when grown amongst dwarf shrubs[143]. Except when in very favoured conditions, this plant is best grown in a cool greenhouse in Britain[143]. The young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts, it is therefore best to site the plant in a position that is sheltered from the morning sun[245, K]. Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 20 - 25cm deep[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]. Plants are said to be very susceptible to botrytis[90, 143]. A very ornamental plant[1]. The flowers have a delicious perfume[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].
