Latin Name:  Lilium tsingtauense
Family:  Liliaceae
Author:  Gilg.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  1.2   Mature Width:  0.25

Habitat:  Moist shady positions in thin woods, margins of thickets and amongst tall grasses[143].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open free-draining humus-rich loamy soil with its roots in the shade and its head in the sun[200]. Best in a lime-free sandy loam[143]. Grows best in a cool peaty soil amongst dwarf rhododendrons[90]. Stem rooting, the bulbs should be planted 8cm deep with plenty of leafmold[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].
