fl Giganteum ( The Himalayas), the most majestic of Lilies, attaining a height, when 
established, of io to 12 ft., with large handsome heart-shaped leaves, and bearing from July 
to August immense long white trumpet-shaped flowers. Groups of this noble Lily in 
large herbaceous and shrubbery borders, woodlands, or wild gardens produce a grand effect. 
They should be planted in a half shady position, where they can establish themselves. 
The large flowering bulbs should be potted up and plunged in a cold frame and then be 
planted out in May, slight protection from early morning frosts being given. If foliage 
is made late in the season, after flowering, it must be protected during the winter with 
straw. The smaller bulbs are specially recommended for naturalising, and will bloom freely 
two or three years after planting.
