Sunny Morning Heirloom Martagon Lily

Bright lemon yellow flowers with brick red markings and spots. A floriferous garden variety once established and mature. The butterfly beloved Lilium martagon Sunny Morning is best planted in the fall. It requires well draining soil that is not humus rich because it cannot tolerate wet feet. It prefers full to partial sun with its flowers and foliage in the sun, and its lower stalk in the shade. It likes it dry over the summer and hates any sort of root disturbance once planted. It may even hold off flowering the first year until it is well established. Once mature, it may yield 40 plus flowers per stalk. Apply no more than a 2” layer of leaf mulch after the ground has frozen.
