The Martagon Lily is hardy, reliable and perfect for naturalising. Once established, it returns year after year, producing more blooms with every season. 🧡
➡️ Step 1: Planting
Plant bulbs in a well-drained, evenly moist position. Place at a depth of approx. 3 times the bulb height. Ideal for sheltered spots away from excessive wind, heat and drought.
➡️ Step 2: Watering
Water well after planting and maintain consistent moisture during active growth until late autumn to support strong root development.
➡️ Step 3: Flowering period
Flowers appear in June – July, reaching 80 – 100 cm in height. Remove spent blooms during flowering to encourage plant energy back into the bulb.
➡️ Step 4: Feeding
Apply a balanced fertiliser immediately after flowering to support bulb strength and next season’s performance.
➡️ Step 5: After flowering care
Allow stems and foliage to die back naturally. Do not cut too early, as this process feeds the bulb for the following year.
➡️ Step 6: Seasonal protection
The Martagon lily is very hardy, tolerating temperatures down to -25°C. In cold winters, mulch can be added for protection, while in extreme heat (up to 38°C) light shade and extra watering are beneficial.
➡️ Step 7: Pruning
Remove only dead or yellowing stems in late season to maintain plant health.
