Lilium sargentiae, commonly known as Sargent’s lily, is a perennial herbaceous bulb native to the cool temperate forests of China. It can grow up to 6 feet in height and is characterized by its large, trumpet-shaped white flowers that bloom in the summer. The flowers are highly fragrant and can add a sweet aroma to the garden. The plant’s stem is sturdy, and the leaves are lance-shaped and arranged in whorls.

Sargent’s lily is appreciated for its striking appearance and fragrance, making it a popular choice for ornamental gardens, borders, and as a specimen plant. It thrives in partial shade, requiring protection from intense afternoon sun. The soil should be moist but well-drained, rich in organic matter, and slightly acidic to neutral in pH. Sargent’s lily is not known for serious pest or disease problems, but it can be susceptible to lily beetle infestations.CC BY-SA 4.0
