 | Lilium Species (Non-hybrid + Selected Hybrids)Most are grown the same as any other hybrid lily, with only a slight variance of soil or watering requirement. Special needs are indicated within the descriptions. Guarantee of Lilium species and their close hybrids: All of our species lilies have been propagated from seed or by division in commercial nursery beds, we do not offer ANY wild collected material. Although some species can take up to seven years to flower from seed, if you pay careful attention to their natural wild habitat, ideal conditions can be duplicated at home for success with even the most difficult types. Because of the varying individual requirements of Lilium species offered from time to time, they are guaranteed true-to-name only, not for failure to grow. The more finicky ones are marked as "difficult". Bear in mind that any species lily or martagon hybrid may take a year or two before flowering the first time - or may bloom right away, they can be unpredictable - so if a stem emerges right way and does not flower, and has not been over watered, chances are it is still trying to settle itself into the new micro climate.
