Lilium pensylvanicum (dauricum)
Lilium pensylvanicum (dauricum) reaches a height of 30–70 centimetres (12–28 in) and has a width up to 25 cm (10 in). The stem is hard, smooth and straight, the leaves linear to lanceolate, 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 in) long and 3–4 millimetres (0.12–0.16 in) wide. The plant flowers in June and July with one to six upright, dish-shaped flowers. The flower consists of six tepals curving backward from the center. The seeds mature from August to September. The bulb is roundish with a diameter of about 2 cm (0.79 in).
Lilium pensylvanicum is very undemanding and is easily cultivated. It is sensitive only in relation to drought. Thus the plant is popular in European and American gardens. You will note that the spelling is not quite right for the state of Pennsylvania.
The Latin name is misleading due to an error by the botanist John Bellenden Ker, who apparently didn't have his geography nailed down. When he realized his error, he renamed it Lilium dauricum, but the original name is still used. It is not a native of Pennsylvania, but to Siberia, the Russian Far East, Mongolia, northeast China, Korea and Hokkaidō, and is sometimes called the Siberian Lily.
Prices listed are subject to change, based upon size change and availability.
We are a small local nursery with limited shipping capability. We will do our best to ship smaller material (usually 1 or 2 gallon), although we can sometimes ship larger plants with the pots removed.
We have some species that are not listed, as we have too few of them to make a full listing plausible. You can always inquire.
We will consider contract growing an order with appropriate advance notice and availability of seed, cuttings or lining out stock.
