The genus Lilium are herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs. They comprise a genus of about 110 species in the lily family, Liliaceae. They are important as large showy flowering garden plants. They are important culturally and in literature in much of the world.

Some species are sometimes grown or harvested for the edible bulbs.

The species in this genus are the true lilies. Many other plants exist with "lily" in the common English name, some of which are quite unrelated to the true lilies.

Range

The range of lilies in the Old World extends across much of Europe, the north Mediterranean region, across most of Asia to Japan, south to the Nilgiri mountains in India, and south to the Philippines. In the New World they extend from southern Canada through much of the United States.

They are commonly adapted to either woodland habitats, often montane, or sometimes to grassland habitats. A few can survive in marshland and epiphytes are known in southeast Asia (including L. arboricola). In general they prefer moderately acidic or lime-free soils.

A. Have you tried Amazon? I find when I'm looking it's better to use words like leaves, floral, etc. there. Good luck!

How do I plant and cultivate a cranium lily plant?
Q. My wife bought a cranium lily bare root plant on E-Bay. It came without directions for planting , and even though she is a garden green thumb wizz, these plants are not available in my area. They were shipped 8/19. It was 2 days in transit. Its now 8/23 and they are sitting in a vase in water. Does anyone know how to plant?

A. It's probably a crinum lily. Enter "crinum lily" in a search engine and you'll come up with all kinds of planting information.

When do you cut back the lily plant stalks?
Q. Two years ago I planted a whole bunch of assorted lily bulbs my wife bought on QVC. They bloomed profusely and now all the flowers are gone. When do I cut the stalks back? Last year I waited until the fall but had all the stalks sticking up all summer.
Asked by Sergeant Brian - Fri Jul 6 12:19:48 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Cut off the spent flowers, but you should allow the plant stalks to die off naturally rather than cutting them down right after blooming. This will ensure the bulbs have seen a full return of nutrients from the plant before winter. You can cut them off when they've dried up. If you don't like how the stalks look, why not bend them to the ground so they are neater ? I do this to my tulip stems, too. Maybe you could plant some Black-Eyed Susans in front of them so the stalks are hidden away while they're in the process of gathering nutrients for the bulb. If you really need to trim the stalks, "try not to cut off more than a third of the stem, which can reduce the plant's vigor and longevity." *
