Lilium ‘Sunny Morning’

Product Details

Pendant Turk’s Cap blossoms with dramatically recurved petals in shades of yellow and orange with nutmeg-colored spots festoon the 3’ stems of Lilium ‘Sunny Morning,’ warming the late spring and early summer garden with rich, luminous color. Like other Martagons, this one may require a year to settle in before showing top growth. But given time to adjust to a new home, this perennial will return for decades with blossom counts rising to upwards of 30 per stem. Martagons are ideally situated in the dappled sunlight of woodland settings or in full sun. Surround them with mounding perennials that will give the Lilies shade at their roots. Cat lovers, pass this one by. All parts of the plant, including the pollen, are toxic to felines.

Lilies are one of the truly great garden plants. Their beauty, diversity, extended season of bloom, exquisite fragrance, graceful stature, and reliable disposition reflect the fruits of hundreds of years of selective breeding. Your garden should not be without them, whether you manage acres of mixed borders or a few pots on a city balcony. Lilies prefer cool soil, which argues for shade at their feet from low-growing companions such as Ferns, Geraniums, or Hellebores.
