Lilium martagon thrives in sub-alpine meadows, woods or scrubs up to 7,000 feet above sea level and tolerates all soils, though it prefers neutral to alkaline conditions. They are incredibly easy to grow and few garden pests trouble them. Like most lilies, martagons need good drainage, so plant on sloping ground. Unlike true lilies, however, it’s a good idea to place martagons in a somewhat shady location with dappled sunlight - in the wild, they are only found in dappled sunlight at the edges of meadows.

Prepare the soil with large amounts of organic matter and humus. Martagon lilies can do well in just about any type of soil, provided that some lime is added yearly to the soil. The general rule of thumb for planting spring bulbs is to plant two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. Plant with the roots downward and the scales upward. After planting, water well two or three times. Lilies are most effective when planted in groups of three or more. Because martagons grow slower than other lilies, you can plant bulbs a bit closer together - about 8-12 inches apart.

Always allow the leaves on the stalk to turn yellow and fall off as part of the lily’s natural growth process. This ensures that the bulbous underground part of the plant has gotten enough nourishment and will mean greater growth next year. Each year watch their beauty increase as they multiply!

Shipping

Sorry, we do not ship outside the U.S. or to Hawaii due to agricultural restrictions.

We guarantee safe arrival of healthy bulbs, that varieties will be true-to-name, and will grow if planted as instructed, subject to the limitations described in our Shipping and Returns Policy.

We begin shipping our bulbs in mid-February through Spring. Despite what you may have heard, Spring planting of bulbs is not a bad thing, and in fact, there are many advantages to planting in Spring. Visit our Spring Planting page to learn more. Upon arriving, your bulbs and most of your perennials may show signs of growth such as green leaves and sprouts - this is okay and transportation during this time should not harm the plants.

All bulbs and perennials should be planted in your garden as soon as possible to ensure the best success. If you must delay planting, open the bags to permit air circulation and place them out of direct sunlight in a cool, well-ventilated room. Do not place the bulbs where they can freeze. If you have the space, storing the bulbs in the refrigerator is another excellent way to “hold them” prior to planting. If you choose this method of storing your bulbs, be sure not to store fruit with them, as this is detrimental to bulbs.

Plant outdoors when the ground is no longer frozen and the conditions have improved for your zone.
