Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tender lily native to Taiwan and the Philippines, tall stems to 6’ are crowned by clusters of BIG white trumpets in summer that are very fragrant; fun to grow in warm areas like Florida…big containers elsewhere to be overwintered in a frost-free location. Sun to part shade; rich, moist soil with adequate drainage…typical lily culture. This one is FUN to grow!

It is very hard to find the true species. Prefers part shade. Has long lasting flowers in late summer. Very tall (5 ft or more). These bulbs are very small----like dimes and nickles. They are probably not as hardy as other Lilies. In any case I would recommend protecting from hard freezing with a thick layer of leaves.
