Notes
Manipur lily (Lilium mackliniae) is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and stays about 12 inches wide. Bees visit the flowers, so it adds life to a sunny border.
Pairs well with Society garlic, Pink, and Wallflower.
