Lilium pumilum
Seeds
Common name: Lily Pumilum
Species: Lilium pumilum
Hardiness Zones: 3-8
Scarification/Stratification: No
Germination:
Germination is hypogeal; seed sprouts
as a bulb at warm temperatures, requiring a period of cold afterwards to send
up its first true leaf. Lily bulbs never go fully dormant, so they must be
treated carefully. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep moist. A plastic
sandwich bag placed loosely over each pot will keep moisture in and cut down
maintenance for a few weeks. Place in warm temperature, 70-75°F for 9-12 weeks.
Then place in cold temperatures, in the refrigerator, -4°C to 4°C for 3 months
and back to warm; it will send up its first true leaf in 1-2 weeks. Lily seeds
are not difficult to germinate indoors and to grow under lights. The most
important requirement for the planting mix is drainage while retaining
moisture. Use a combination of sand, soil, vermiculite, perlite, and whatever
organic matter is at hand to produce a light, airy mix which retains moisture
but allows good drainage.
Description:
Lilium pumilum, also called Lilium tenuifolium or Coral Lily
is a perennial native of China’s colder regions. This charming and
short-statured Lily grows only 1 to 2 feet tall. Pumilum is a classic species
that has stood the test of time, adding an air of understated elegance to the
garden. As Summer reaches its peak the Lys becomes embellished in up to 30
pendent flowers of fiery scarlet, each one releasing a powerful perfume into
the warm air. Graceful, durable, and very long-lasting. The pretty 2″
flowers are luminous coral-scarlet, recurved and produced in June and July. The
waxy turk’s-cap flowers are so lustrous they appear to have been lacquered. The
flowers are hermaphrodite, they have both male and female organs. This
deciduous Chinese native has grassy foliage of a medium green. Hardiness zones
3-8, (-37°C/-35°F, -10°C/15°F) in Winter. Lilium pumilum likes a soil well
drained, rich in organic matter. Water regularly but do not overwater. It is
very easy to grow and is resistant to basal rot, just don’t let it get dried
out. This Lily will tolerate sun to partial shade and will tolerate almost full
sun.
