high, when established, with large handsome heart-shaped leaves, and 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 and where the subsoil is 
fairly moist. 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
