This Chinese species is the easiest white lily to grow in most gardens. It is very popular for its fine display of long glistening white flowers and for their heady, memorable perfume. The plants tolerate most soils happily, although the height of their stems and the number of flowers depends on the amount of humus and fertility in the ground. The bulbs themselves are very hardy, but the shoots appear early in the season and are liable to be damaged by frost unless sheltered by adjacent plants. Plants can be raised from seed very quickly, and often flower in their second year. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
