"This luxuriant plant from Japan was already used a lot in the 19th century in Victorian gardens. She is popular called The Queen of Lilies. And she still is, with her large, nicely coloured and fragrant blossoms an eye catcher in the garden.
Do not plant her in full sun, half shadow or preferably filtered light is what she loves. And a loose, slightly acid soil rich of organic matter is what she loves most. Once she feels comfortable in your garden she will be there for many many years."

Planting and caring for lily bulbs
Plant lily bulbs in autumn or spring in a sunny or lightly shaded position with fertile, well-drained soil. Place the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of approximately two to three times the height of the bulb. Depending on the variety, leave around 20 to 30 cm between the bulbs. For a natural effect, plant them in small groups.
Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season, especially in the first year, but avoid leaving the bulbs in wet soil for prolonged periods. Allow the foliage to yellow naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy for the following year.
