Description and Growing Information
| Cultivation | L. nepalense is an ericaceous, stoloniferous lily that requires moist soil even when dormant. In northern temperate climates it is best grown in pots and stored in a cool greenhouse during winter as it is not frost hardy. |
| Flower Description | Blooms are pendulous, large, with recurved petals that are off white with a slight mauve/pink variegation on the backsides towards the petal base. |
