Stamens are prominent. The flowers are strongly especially at night.

The Royal Horticultural Society has given Lilium regale its Award of Garden Merit. It is among the easiest lilies to grow in most temperate climate gardens. It tolerates most soils, except ones prone to waterlogging. It may naturalise in suitable conditions. It can also be grown in large containers. The bulbs are very hardy. Plants can be raised from seed, and grow quickly. Stems may require staking to support the large blooms.
