A floriferous garden variety once established and mature. Once mature, it may yield 40+ flowers per stalk,
Mortagon lilies can be slightly temperamental at first, sulking for a year underground, or not blooming the first year. Martagons flower before summer heat ramps up and die back earlier than Asiatic lilies. They take longer to mature. They prefer a half-day of shade and will grow well where other lilies would struggle. Water often if plants are competing for moisture.
