Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Also called the white form of L. duchartrei but current taxonomic wisdom says it is L. taliense. Under any name it remains an untrammeled expression of floral purity both in form and intent. Tightly recurved white Turk's Cap flowers peppered centrally in black specks. Stoloniferously colonizing.

By: Far Reaches Farm

On 2-4' stems, produces up to 12 medium-sized, fragrant flowers with strongly recurved petals (Turk's Caps). They are white and prominently spotted purple. A rarely offered species that is easy to grow in a good garden soil. Like most lilies, it likes it moist until and during bloom; thereafter the soil can be allowed to be drier. If happy, grows into nice little colonies. Shipped as bare root bulbs earlier in the season and in pots later
