Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The martagon is a classic woodland lily with small, delicate, pendant flowers with recurved petals. Lilium 'Sunny Morning' has light orange and deep orange flowers with a golden orange centre and 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. Dig down carefully to investigate before fretting.

Another superb rock hardy martagon hybrid. Downward-facing orange-yellow flowers with recurved petals are washed in carmine spots which run together. To not be smitten by these martagon hybrids has to be a character flaw as they add such beauty and grace to the garden. Like all martagons, these appreciate good drainage and part shade.
