Lilium formosanum

Overview

Formosan lily (Lilium formosanum) is a bright and beautiful flower native to Taiwan. It has deep green narrow leaves and tall stalks with downward-facing bell-shaped blooms that come in shades of pink, orange or yellow. The flowers are raised above the foliage, which can add 2 to 3 feet of height to any garden. The plant is not overly demanding and will grow in full or partial shade. During the summer months, it will need lots of water and may need to be staked to provide support. Formosan lilies are low maintenance, deer and drought resistant, making them an ideal choice for a colourful and long-lasting border.
