Notes
'Fairy Morning' turkscap lily (Lilium martagon 'Fairy Morning') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It grows 35 to 47 inches tall, so it suits the back of a bed.
Pairs well with June hosta, Aureola Japanese forest grass, and Catmint.
