Dear Luc,
Lilium wallichianum hails from the Sikkim Himalayas and is admired for it
fragrance. It grows on open grasssy slopes in the subtropical zone and has
to be cultivated in well drained medium with pea shingles, some sand and
garden soil. We grow them in the open here at elevation of 500-800m. Summer
temperatures could go upto 32 C with plenty of rain from end June-early
September.
Hope this information written hurriedly helps.
Regards.
Udai
