Lilium oxypetalum var. insigne is a dwarf species lily, bearing dusky pink flowers flushed with yellow. Clump-forming, established plants bear more flowers per stem, resulting in a pretty, floriferous display over time.
Plant bulbs in autumn, roughly 12cm deep humus-rich, well-drained soil, in a sheltered spot in partial shade.
