Lilium bakerianum, commonly known as Baker’s Lily, is a deciduous perennial bulb native to the cool mountain forests and alpine meadows of Southeast Asia, particularly in China and Myanmar. It typically grows to a height of 2-6 feet (0.6-1.8 meters) and a width of about 0.5 feet (0.2 meters). The plant features lance-shaped leaves and produces a striking display of trumpet-shaped flowers that can be yellow, green, red, or white, often with speckles or brush marks, which bloom in the summer.

Baker’s Lily is valued for its exotic and colorful flowers that add a tropical flair to temperate gardens. It is suitable for border plantings, rock gardens, and as a specimen in woodland gardens. While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate light shade, especially in hotter climates. It requires well-drained soil rich in organic matter and consistent moisture during the growing season. After flowering, reduce watering to allow the bulb to rest. It is relatively low maintenance but can be susceptible to lily beetle infestations and fungal diseases like botrytis.CC BY-SA 4.0
