Native to China, Japan, Korea, and the Russian Far East, there is a legend that tells of a Korean hermit, who removed an arrow from a wounded tiger. The tiger asked the hermit to use his powers to perpetuate their friendship after his death. The hermit agreed and when the tiger died, his body became a tiger lily. Eventually the hermit drowned and his body was washed away. The Tiger Lily spread everywhere searching for its friend.

Appropriate considering this species is also known as the Ditch Lily and can be found around ditches in large parts of America. Besides producing a stunning spectacle, a sweet and distinctively lily smell, most parts of this plant are edible.

It was used in ancient medicine throughout Asia. To this day, a tincture is made from the fresh plant and has proved of great value in uterine-neuralgia, congestion and irritation, also in the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.
