Lilium washingtonianum
Also called Lady Washington Lily
Lilium washingtonianum is a North American wild lily native to the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada, grown for its large fragrant white or pink flowers. It needs well-drained soil and a cool, bright site with some summer dryness.
Lilium washingtonianum is a North American plant species in the lily family. It is also known as the Washington lily, Shasta lily, or Mt. Hood lily. It is named after Martha Washington and not the state of Washington; in fact, as the northern range of the plant is near Mount Hood in Oregon, it does not naturally occur in the state of Washington.
Lilium washingtonianum is native to the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada of western North America. Its range is limited to the states of California and Oregon. It is typically found in chaparral, open woods, recently burned areas, or revegetating clearcuts.
