Lilium hansonii is a Martagon type lily from Korea. The flowers are orange yellow Turk’s caps with brown spots. They are sweetly fragrant and downward facing. The stems have whorled foliage and may eventually reach a height of well over 4 fteet, although for several years they may be as short as 2 ft. Martagon lilies such as Lilium hansonii are the most adapted to shade, but are quite sensitive to late spring frosts. The unsurpassed grace and beauty of this lily makes it a lovely addition to the garden. Lilies love full sun, but will do well in partial shade. They tolerate hot summer days, as long as the bulbs are deep enough to remain cool. Lower plants surrounding the lilies will help protect their roots from drying out. Lilies make an excellent cut flower with long lasting blooms and buds that continue to mature and open after cutting.
