Description
A beautiful, cold hardy lily with large, campanulate, ascending orange- red flowers (with minute dark spots). It goes by a few names, and another seed batch was given as L. concolor var. pulchellum a couple years ago; names changed again, so probably safe to remain with L. pulchellum or L. buschianum so that we understand what species we are talking about.
It can also be cultivated in light shade.
Many thanks for the picture author who allowed free usage of the image.
Germination: advice taken from PBS page: immediate epigeal (sow at room temp.), time your sowing accordingly.
“There will be a few seeds in almost every seed lot that germinate slower than these time frames. As a rule with immediate epigeal germinating lilies the first true leaf will emerge about 4 weeks after the cotyledon. Some immediate epigeal germinating lilies will grow for two to three months after germinating and then senesce; when this occurs they need a 3 three month cold period or they will be lost.”
