(Tiger lily)
Lilium lancifolium, long known as the tiger lily, is one of the most well-known lily species in the world. The species was first described in 1794 by Carl Peter Thunberg based on Japanese horticultural material. It was previously believed that the species was native to Japan, but modern floristic research confirms that its origin lies in North and Central China, from where the species was spread to Korea and Japan in ancient times through cultivation.
The flowers are bright orange, richly covered with striking dark purple to black spots. Lilium lancifolium is an exceptionally good lily for the garden that has low soil requirements
Plant immediately upon receipt.
- Choose a nice spot for the lilies. They love plenty of sun, so make sure to find a place where the sun shines abundantly.
- Dig a hole 10 to 15 cm deep. It is better to plant the lily bulbs too deep than too shallow, as this keeps the bulbs nice and cool and also ensures that the stems stand sturdier.
- Loosen the soil at the bottom of the planting hole and place the lily bulbs in the hole. Maintain a planting distance of 15 cm so that all bulbs receive enough sunlight.
- Cover the hole with soil over the lily bulbs.
- Water the lily bulbs immediately. This ensures that the roots start to grow quickly.
- If you cannot plant the lily bulbs immediately after purchase, store them in a cool, dark place like the refrigerator. This prevents the lily bulbs from sprouting.
