Lilium regale is a perennial plant that originates from
Western China. This Lily can grow up to 1.50 meter and
forms a bulb. It is best used in the ornamental garden.
Beautiful and one of the most easily grown and fast
growing Lily.
It flowers in mid-Summer and can always be relied on to
put up a stunning show. The clusters of large white
outfacing fragrant trumpets, backed in lavender are
simply marvelous. The trumpet-shaped, horizontal flowers
grow in clusters of 2-20, right above a crown of leaves
and are 12-15 cm long. Pure white petals are shaded with
yellow throats, blushed with pink and purple on the
outside. The flowers are hermaphrodite, they have both
male and female organs. It developes greyish-green stem
with red spots and dark green deciduous leaves. It has a
very large number of leaves. Lily bulbs never go fully
dormant, so they must be treated carefully.
Hardiness zones 4-8, (-32°C/-25°F, -10°C/-15°F) in
Winter. Soil must be well-drained, with added compost or
peat moss. They grow well in most soils except those
which are very alkaline. It requires moist soil. Grow in
full sun with some shade in late afternoon. Too much
shade can make Lilies stretching for the sun.
