Lilium hansonii, known as Hanson's lily[3] and Japanese turk's-cap lily,[4] is an East Asian species of plants in the lily family.[2][5][6] It is native to Korea, Japan, and to Jilin Province in northeastern China, as well as being widely cultivated as an ornamental.[7]

Lilium hansonii is a vigorous early–flowering stem–rooting true lily. It has elliptic to inversely lanced–shaped leaves, pale green, up to 7 inches (18 cm) long and carried in whorls of 12–20 leaves. In early summer it produces racemes of up 10–14 small, nodding, fragrant, flowers with recurved tepals of a brilliant orange–yellow. The tepals are fleshy and show purplish–brown spots near the base. The plant grows to 3–5 feet (1–1.5 m) tall.

Lilium hansonii is named for Peter Hanson (1821–1887), a Danish–born American landscape artist who was an aficionado of tulips and also grew lilies.[8][9]
