Lilium nepalense
Nepal Lily
Description
Lilium nepalense, also known as the Nepal Lily, is a beautiful, exotic species. It's known for its striking, downward-facing, trumpet-shaped flowers that have a lovely fragrance and color. The petals are typically a creamy-white color, often with a greenish tinge and a purple or maroon throat. The plant boasts slender, elegant stems lined with lance-shaped leaves, adding to its aesthetic appeal. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers partial shade, especially during the hottest parts of the day. It's a perennial bulb, returning year after year, making it a rewarding addition to any garden. The plant is native to the Himalayas, so it appreciates cool temperatures, and is a good choice for borders and container gardening. To encourage healthy growth, providing adequate moisture and protecting it from slugs and snails are essential.
