Planting and Care Information
Planting and Care Information
Planting Instructions: Plant in autumn in humus-rich, well-drained soil, ideally where the bulbs can remain permanently. Martagon lilies can take a year to establish after transplanting, so avoid moving them unnecessarily. Once settled they are exceptionally long-lived and can naturalise effectively.
Soil and Drainage Requirements: Chalk, Loam, Sandy soil; moist but well drained; Acid, Neutral, Alkaline
Preferred Location: Full sun or Partial shade; Sheltered
Care: Maintain moisture during active growth but avoid waterlogging. Allow stems and foliage to die back naturally after flowering. Once established, leave bulbs undisturbed; mature stems can produce 20–30 flowers and plants may persist for decades in a suitable position.
