Description
Lilium regale, better known as the royal lily, is one of the most robust species of trumpet lilies. This botanic variety produces numerous large, highly fragrant flowers, white with a deep pink reverse. It faithfully blooms every year. Hardy, it adapts to any climate and soil, as long as water does not stagnate.
The royal lily is native to western Sichuan, China, and was introduced to England in 1903. It is a tall bulbous plant that can grow up to 2 metres (7 feet) high! It more commonly reaches 1.20m (4ft) to 1.50m (5ft), with a spread of 40cm (16in). Lilium regale bears up to 25 fragrant flowers in dense umbels, grouped in 3 to 5. The flowers have a funnel shape, measuring 14cm (6in) long. They are white with a yellow throat, and a deep pink exterior. The stamens are prominent. The flowers are highly fragrant, especially at night. The foliage is linear and dark green, with leaves irregularly scattered on the stalk, speckled with brownish-purple. This lily forms roots on the underground part of the stems and produces aerial bulbils. The bulb has an oval shape, it is red and composed of thick, ovate, tightly imbricate scales.
You can associate these lilies with perennial plants in flower beds as they appreciate having their base in the shade, and these plants will help prevent the stems from bending in case of gusts or heavy rain. The lily is ideal for borders, and of course, for bouquets.

Planting and care
Lilium regale is one of the easiest lilies to grow in temperate climate gardens. It tolerates most soils, except those that retain moisture, which can cause root asphyxiation (heavy and poorly drained soils). It can naturalise under suitable conditions. The bulbs are very hardy, but the young shoots that appear early in the season can be damaged by late frosts. You should plant it in full sun, but it also appreciates partial shade, preferably in October, by burying the bulbs 15 cm (6in) deep in a pocket of soil mixed with leaf compost. Surround them with a pocket of sand to prevent rot and slug attacks, while allowing them to grow more easily. Mark the planting location, as vegetation only starts in March-April. When the stems reach 30 cm (12in) tall, discreetly stake them. If pretty red insects appear, treat them immediately, as they are lily beetles whose larvae can devour all the leaves. The most effective method is to catch them manually, but be careful as they drop as soon as you touch them, so put a box underneath. Otherwise, treat regularly with permethrin. After flowering, it is useful to cut the faded flowers halfway to keep the bed beautiful during the summer.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
