Estimated Native Range
Summary
Lilium leichtlinii, commonly known as Leichtlin’s Lily, is a deciduous perennial bulb native to the mountainous regions and grassy slopes of Japan and Korea. It typically grows to a height of 3 feet (0.9 meters) and a width of 1 foot (0.3 meters). This species is characterized by its upright stems and racemes of nodding, turk’s-cap-type flowers that are golden yellow with brownish spots, blooming in mid to late summer. The flowers are quite showy and are known to attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees.
Leichtlin’s Lily is valued for its striking flowers and is often used in borders, wild gardens, and as a specimen plant in garden settings. It is relatively easy to maintain, provided it is planted in well-draining soil. For optimal growth, it requires full sun to partial shade and consistent moisture during the growing season. While it is not typically prone to serious pest or disease problems, it can be susceptible to lily beetle infestations. Gardeners should be aware of this potential issue and monitor for signs of damage.CC BY-SA 4.0
