Lilium Martagon 'Lady Alice' Lily Bulbs

Lilium Martagon 'Lady Alice'

A refined beauty with old world charm, Lilium Martagon 'Lady Alice' brings elegance and unique color to summer borders. This martagon lily produces downward facing, reflexed blooms in a striking mix of apricot orange and creamy white, each petal speckled with cinnamon tones near the throat. The tall, upright stems can reach up to 4 feet, offering a graceful vertical accent for the mid to late summer garden. Known for its light fragrance and strong growth habit, 'Lady Alice' is a must have for gardeners seeking distinctive lily bulbs with lasting appeal.

Ideal for woodland style gardens, shaded beds, or naturalized borders, 'Lady Alice' thrives in part shade, especially in warmer zones, and prefers to remain undisturbed once planted. Try pairing it with hostas, ferns, or astilbes to echo its elegant form and extend seasonal interest. Whether used as a specimen, mass planted for impact, or cut for arrangements, this lily adds texture and height with ease. Related martagons such as 'Marhan' or 'Album' make excellent companion varieties.

Plant the bulbs in fall or early spring, 4 to 6 inches deep and 12 to 18 inches apart in rich, well drained soil. Water regularly during active growth and apply compost or balanced fertilizer in early spring and after bloom. Deadhead spent flowers to prevent self seeding and allow the foliage to die back naturally.
