The description from Pacific Rim states: This magnificent variety of Japan's "Mountain Lily" is native only to the Izu Shoto, a sprinkling of islets, some of them volcanic, not far south of Tokyo. It is more robust than plain L. auratum, with thicker, almost waxy petals and leaves; and it has few or no spots on its petals. Our plants are from stock propagated for the Species Lily Preservation Group. Their huge flowers, often 15-20 cm (6-8") across, rise on 140-cm (4'6") stems to perfume our garden for two or three weeks in July-August, especially in the evening. Easy in good garden loam and part-day sun. Zone 6. It also states it is unavailable. The picture is from Rainyside Gardens. |
