Lilian nepalense. This species lily is just now getting to be of decent size in the garden. It was definitely worth the wait. The Lily of Nepal appreciates good drainage. Native to the Himalayas, from northern India to Nepal and Bhutan, this highly prized exotic lily offers a peerless, bicolored pageantry of large funnellike greenish yellow blooms with recurved petals and boldly etched reddish purple throats. As many as eight, gorgeous downward facing flowers crest each medium-sized stem, clad in dark green lance-shaped leaves. Once established, the Lily of Nepal will spread by underground stolons that appreciate dappled shade and cool humus-rich soil. Blooms July – August. Size: 2–3 high x 12 wide; hardy to zone 6.
