Lilium 'Orange Marmalade'
The Lilium 'Orange Marmalade' is a striking Martagon Group hybrid, renowned for its elegant form and delightful fragrance. Mature plants boast 24 to 32 recurved blossoms in subdued orange and brownish orange hues, notably without spots. This variety is an excellent choice for cottage gardens, reaching its peak in the second year. Lilies thrive in well-drained soil with 6–8 hours of sun daily, benefiting from companion plants that provide root shade. To ensure bulb renewal, trim no more than one-third of the stem when cutting flowers. These bulbs are shipped in fall for optimal planting.
