Description en: Genus of 3 species of large, bulbous, monocarpic perennials found in scrub and forest in the Himalayas, Japan, and China. They are cultivated for their spectacular, lily-like, trumpet-shaped flowers, borne in summer, and their attractive, heart-shaped, veined leaves. The flowers are followed by large, decorative, upright, oblong-ovoid, pale brown seed capsules, 5-6cm (2-2 1/2in) long. The bulbs take several years to reach maturity and die after flowering, leaving numerous offsets. Grow in woodland, or in a shaded, sheltered border.
Hardiness en: Fully to frost hardy; new growth that develops in early spring may need protection in frost-prone areas.

Propagation en: Sow seed in deep trays in a cool, shaded bulb frame as soon as ripe. Remove offsets after flowering. Offsets may take 4-5 years to flower; seed-raised plants take 7 years or more.
