Cardiocrinum giganteum var. yunnanense CCHH#8027 This is the Chinese variety of the famous Himalayan Giant Lily. It will be around 8 to 10 feet in height when in flower with many large cream tubular fragrant flowers up to eight inches in length along the upper portion of the stem. The large smooth and glossy basal leaves are reminiscent of a Hosta. Absolutely magnificent. A great opportunity for those who know the plant, and  for those who do not, this will knock your socks off.

Best in light shade in a deep moist soil with the bulb planted near the surface. Large mature bulbs – should bloom in one or two years.  RSBG#334sd1998
