The martagon is a classic woodland lily with small, delicate, pendant flowers with recurved petals. 'Russian Morning' has beautiful deep pink flowers speckled with orange and black spots. Great in a part shade or the woodland garden rising above Hosta, Arisaema and Brunnera. Some martagon lilies will take a "year off" especially in the year after being first planted.
