}}Anthericum liliago, the St Bernard's lily''', is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. It is native to mainland Europe (not the British Isles) and Turkey, growing in dry pastures, stony places and open woods and flowering in early summer. In Sweden, the northernmost stable populations grows along the rocky shores of Lake Sommen (58° N), albeit on occasions it has been found as far north as Uppland (60° N). Etymology
The specific epithet liliago means lily-like or lily-carrier. Like many plants whose common names include "lily", it is not closely related to the true lilies. Description
It is a vigorous herbaceous flowering perennial with tuberous roots,  high, with leaves narrowly linear,  and producing racemes of 6-10 lily-like white flowers in Spring and Summer. Cultivation
Best grown in well-drained soil in a sunny position, A. liliago'' can be propagated by seed or by division of the rootstock every 3 to 4 years. It is a slow starter but forms large clumps with time (USDA Zone 6). The cultivar ‘Major’ has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. See also
