Lilium pumilum is an Asian species of bulbous plants native to Mongolia, Siberia, the Russian Far East (Amur Krai, Primorye, Khabarovsk), Korea and northern China.[1][2][3][4]
It is a stem-rooting bulb that grows up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) high, though usually rather less. The bulb itself is 4–5 inches (100–130 mm) deep and live from 2 to 4 years.[5] The leaves are slender and grassy. It bears from one to twenty reflexed and nodding flowers, usually red in colour, and which may be spotted with black. The flowers are scented.[6]
Named pumilum (`poo`mill`um) for its small size, compared to other lilies
It may be short lived in cultivation, but tends to last longest in well-drained soils.[7][8]
