Rokko San Resort Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Nada Ward, Kobe City; President: Akiteru Senoo) is pleased to announce that the giant "Himalayan Lily" is expected to bloom soon at the Rokko High Mountain Botanical Garden, which it operates.

The Himalayan Lily first successfully bloomed at our garden in 2020. This year marks the 6th time the species has bloomed at the Rokko High Mountain Botanical Garden, excluding 2022. This year, four plants are growing and are expected to be enjoyed until late June after blooming.

◆ Himalayan Lily (Liliaceae Family)

This is a giant bulbous plant native to the Himalayas and China at altitudes of 2500-3500m, reaching heights of over 3 meters. It bears 8-15 fragrant white flowers that bloom slightly downwards. Once a bulb blooms, it will no longer flower, and propagation occurs by growing offshoots or sowing seeds that have borne fruit. According to Mr. Kazuo Mori, an advisor at our garden, "It takes 8 years from seed to bloom, and growth is slow, so it is rarely cultivated in Japan and is quite unusual."
