Cardiocrinum giganteum var. yunnanense NJM 12.060

A new collection from an obscure locality, on the Burmese border of Manipur, NE India at c2000m asl. These will produce, when ready, a giant scape of deliciously scented large white lily flowers, stained purple in the throat, on stems 2m high. Flowers are particularly rounded in this form, unlike some. Cool, rich, humusy soil in part shade, though actually surprisingly tolerant.
