Lilium Pumilum

Lilium Pumilum, Among the best and easiest of the dwarf-flowered lilies.

Charming early blooming wild variety with strongly recurved flowers of waxy texture in deep coral-red. Native to the Altay Mountains in the Far East, near to where China, Mongolia and Siberia meet. Blooms early summer on 70-90cm stems covered by whorls of ferny foliage. Once established, nothing is more lovely than a gathering of these lilies. A partially shade place, not too dry, suits it well. A real gem, both in the border or in pots.
