Lilium mackliniae, the Shirui lily or Shirui Kashong Timrawon, is a rare species of plant found only in India. This shade-loving lily has pale bluish-pink petals. In the wild, it flowers in the monsoon months of June and July. They are seasonal flowering plants and at their best in May and June when it blooms. Each plant has up to seven flowers. The outside can be a reddish-purple as well. It is a trumpet-shaped flower which hangs downward.
The seeds need to be covered with and need to be in a cool, but a well-lit space. Artificial heat can prevent germination and they only germinate in the spring after they have been chilled or frozen in the winter. They can be grown in small pots and then repotted or planted outside. This is because the area in which they are from, Ukhrul, has wet summers and cold, dry winters.
Type: Hardy Perennial
Hardiness zones: 6-9
Height: 80cm, 32"
Location: Part shade or shade
Seeds per packet: 10
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Temperature 20-22 C (68-72 F) for 4 weeks. They may be growing at this point. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and or plants are poisonous.
