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 Udai C.
