Lily has always been a serious competitor to the queen of flowers - the rose. Two of its rare and expensive species deserve special attention.
Lilium formosanum and its variety Price (var. pricei), which is not afraid of frost. This is an alpine dwarf form, only 30 cm high. The flowers are very narrow, funnel-shaped, white, with a reddish coating on the outside. If the place is sunny, the soil is drained, with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction, then there are no problems with growing such a lily. The plant is not very durable, but it is easy to grow from seed.
