[3] Lilium concolor was first introduced to Britain from Guangzhou, China by Charles Francis Greville in 1790.

[5] The style is shorter than the ovary and the stamens tend to converge toward the center, having the same color as the tepal.

It occurs in 11 provinces in China which include Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, western Hubei and rarely in northeast Yunnan.

It is found in great quantities on ridges to the north of the summit of Tai Shan in Shandong province at an altitude on 1532 meters, especially in open grassy areas.

[1][3] Additional environments in which this species grows include heavy limey soil, humus on carboniferous limestone, grassy slopes, sunny grasslands and moist places in forests, thickets and meadows.

It is used for treatment of bronchial problems as well as uterine fluxes, choreic affections, ulcers and swellings.

The flowers invigorate the blood and are used as poultice to cure sore, boils and foul ulcers.

[3][6][7] Lilium concolor blooms from June to July and its seeds ripen from August to September.

[7] Similar to other lilies, it prefers a well-drained location with full sun, rotted organic matter and a cold period.

[4][7] The seeds can be grown by winter sow in vented containers set up in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse.
