Plant profile: Cardiocrinum giganteum - the giant Himalayan lily

This week on The Horti-Culturalists we were lucky enough to be invited to a magnificent Mount Macedon garden called Marnanie to view the Cardiocrinum giganteum, or giant Himalayan lilies, in bloom! And what a sight they are! Towering over us with a magnificent perfume there are very few places in Australia to see these incredible bulbs in bloom. So in this video we'll look at all thing giant Himalayan lily; how and where to grow them, light, water and soil preferences, and look at their life cycle and optimum propagation strategy.
