I grow L. parryi in SW Washington state, in a very cool microclimate.  I 
give them full sun, and a raised bed of sandy loam  soil.  Last summer they 
grew within two feet of my tomatoes, and got the exact same fertilizer and 
water.

As with all species lilies, I keep the soil shaded with companion plants and 
Doug fir bark.  In winter, they get at least four months of soil temps in 
the 35-40F range.  They live at high elevations with snow cover in nature. 
But I don't know how much winter chilling they need.
