Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Arabian Knight' has graceful recurved petals of yellow, rusty orange, and deep red. Lilium martagon is a classic woodland lily with small, beautiful, pendant flowers and recurved petals. Great in 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.
