Temperature
Siberian fawn lily does best in moderate temperatures, similar to the range most people find comfortable. It prefers conditions that are neither overly hot nor overly cold. The primary concern with high heat is the potential for sunburn, so giving it some shade in summer is recommended to avoid excessive heat.
