Lilium kesselringianum has pale yellow flowers lightly spotted with tiny flecks of purple. The coloring is darker in the center of the petals, and lighter at the edges. The stems stand 4 to 5 feet tall with 5 to 10 blooms on each stem in July and August. Lilium kessselringianum is native to the Caucasus mountains where it is a rare and endangered species. The plants are now cultivated from seed. The unsurpassed grace and beauty of this lily makes it a lovely addition to the garden. Lilies love full sun, but will do well in partial shade. They tolerate hot summer days, as long as the bulbs are deep enough to remain cool. Lower plants surrounding the lilies will help protect their roots from drying out. Lilies make an excellent cut flower with long lasting blooms and buds that continue to mature and open after cutting.
