Lilium 'Albi Morning'
martagon lily
Bring elegance and scented purity to summer planting with gorgeous, nodding blooms held on tall, upright stems. The flowers show clean white petals that reflex neatly back, each marked with fine maroon-brown speckles and finished with prominent rust-coloured anthers. Whorled green leaves give the plant a tidy, layered structure, making it easy to weave into borders or woodland-edge planting.
Lilium ‘Albi Morning’ prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil with sun on its flowers and shade at its base, settling well when left undisturbed. This martagon type is long lived, reliably hardy and ideal for naturalistic schemes where its airy, downward-facing blooms suit a relaxed, informal look. It attracts pollinators, offers gentle fragrance and works equally well in borders, containers or as cut flowers.

How to care for Lilium Albi Morning:
Lilies can be planted at any time from early autumn, to mid-spring. Planting in autumn often helps them settle in and become better established before they start to put on their new spring growth, but spring planting is a better option if your soil is heavy and wet during winter.
Choose a sunny spot, preferably where the plant receives a little light shade at its base, and plant each bulb 15-20cm (6-8in) deep in a well-drained soil, enriched with well-rotted organic matter or leaf mould. Space them at approximately 30cm (12in) intervals and provide support before the flowers appear.
Deadhead the faded blooms promptly and cut the dead stems back to ground level at the end of autumn.
