Notholirion

Superb Asian bulbs which are very rarely seen outside the collections of specialists.

The species offered (but not all in the genus) are for damp, humid, peat or leaf enriched soils in light- or dappled-shade. They revel in the cool, humid conditions that you might associate with Trillium or some woodland Lilies.

Notholirion are monocarpic (that is - they die after flowering) but they leave behind several small bulbs that will reach flowering size themselves in 1-3 years.

Growth of our species begins in spring and ends in late autumn, but other species that we do not offer such as N. keoi and N. thomsonianum need a Mediterranean regime.

Available for ordering from Autumn and Spring lists.
