A beauty, this sp from southern Europe can be tricky to keep alive for any length of time. growing in the wild in Greece and Italy it really is a medditeranean plant, enjoying similar conditions to lilium candidum to do well in the long run. Alkaline gritty soil in full sun in a rockery with excellent drainage is ideal, although they dont seem to mind shade or half shade for part of the day as well. Very rare, very few.
