Description
Lilium leichtlinii is a botanical species of Asiatic lily. It bears numerous turban-shaped, curved flowers, a beautiful vibrant yellow tinged with brown. These precious flowers seem to hang like lanterns. When planted in the right conditions, it will faithfully flower every year. It is a hardy, easy to grow plant.
This lily is native to Japan where it grows among grasses in sunny meadows, in river valleys and on grassy hills. This bulbous perennial plant will reach 120 cm (47in) high or even more. It can flower in July, but in some regions, it will be later, in August. The flowers measure about 6-7 cm (2-3in) in diameter and bloom over a long period, often for more than a month. The stems bearing up to 20 flowers are brown, which contrasts with the bright yellow flowers, emphasizing the delicacy, brightness and elegance of this lily. The leaves are green and narrow. The buds are woolly, as are the stem and foliage. This species does not produce bulblets at the base of the leaves along the stems, and the flowers are not fragrant.
Lilium leichtlinii, like martagon-type lilies, is a classic choice for old-style gardens. They are perfect for the edges of woodlands, well-drained slopes, and slightly wild meadow areas. You can associate these lilies with perennial plants as they like having their feet in the shade. They also thrive in moist rockeries or containers, and bring a very refined touch to bouquets.

Planting and care
It is best to plant Lilium leichtlinii in spring or in October, before the severe cold, in a sunny or semi-shaded spot. This plant needs deep and moist soil, especially in summer, with good drainage. It is strongly advised not to use multi-purpose compost, but instead use well-rotted compost or leaf mold in autumn. Plant the bulbs 12 cm (5in) deep in a mixture of soil, leaf soil, and gravel. Surround them with a layer of sand to prevent rot and slug attacks while allowing them to grow more easily. Mark the planting location as the vegetation only starts in April. If red lily beetles appear, treat them immediately, as their larvae can devour all the leaves. The most effective method is to catch them manually but be careful as they drop as soon as they are touched. After flowering, it is a good idea to cut the faded flowers halfway to keep the bed beautiful during summer. Lilies are also suitable for container gardening. Plant 1 to 5 bulbs in a deep pot. Water lightly and place the pots in a frost-free area. Bring them out in spring and enjoy their colours on your terrace!

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
