Product Details

Cardiocrinum giganteum, commonly known as the Himalayan giant lily, is a spectacular plant known for its size and beauty. Native to the mountainous regions of the Himalayas, this species belongs to the Liliaceae family and is admired for its large white flowers and imposing structure. In its natural habitat, it can reach heights of up to 3 meters, making it one of the largest and most majestic varieties of lily.

Its sturdy stem rises gracefully from a base of large, heart-shaped leaves, providing an interesting contrast to its flowers. During the summer, Cardiocrinum giganteum produces clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers in creamy white or greenish hues, releasing a sweet, delicate fragrance that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Despite its imposing appearance, this plant is relatively easy to grow, as long as the right environment is provided. It prefers well-drained, organic-rich, slightly acidic soils and a partially shaded location, making it ideal for gardens with partial shade or areas where direct sunlight is milder.
