Lilium michiganense (Michigan Lily)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 4-8, at least 72" tall Origin: USA

Web-Only! Lilium michiganense is another of the wonderful US native lilies that are rarely available to home gardeners. Native to moist slopes and low woods from MN south to AL, this vigorous and easy-to-grow lily spreads nicely by underground rhizomes. In spring, the 6' tall stems of whorled leaves shoot skyward. In June/July, the stems are topped with one to two bright orange-red, pendent flowers changing to yellow with orange-brown spots near the center. As the bulbs grow larger, each stalk may produce up to five flowers. All of our plants are nursery-propagated via division. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
