Plant of the Month
June 2009
Lilium leucanthum
(QBG # 1988.235)
Collected as seed at 720 meters on a south-facing hillside near Nanba, following the Fujiang River, Sichuan province,
As with most wild lilies, this species thrives best in full sun, or only very light shade, with regular water and fast draining soil that is not too heavy (sandy loam to loam is best, rich in humus, though rocky soil is acceptable, as well).
