Turk's-Cap Lily
Lilium superbum
Height: 3-7 feet
Zone: 3-9
The largest and most spectacular of the native Lilies. Turk's cap-type
flowers are 2.5-4 in (5-8 cm) wide, orange and yellow with darker spots
sometimes reddish and white. All the flowers have a green star in the
center of the flower witch is an identifying feature of the plant. It
is easily grown in average, medium wet to wet, well-drained soils in
full sun to partial sun and does best in consistently moist, rich in
humus soils. Mulch helps prevent soils drying out and keep the root
zone cool. The plant can be found growing wild in openings in rich
woods, swamp edges and bottoms, stream sides, moist meadows and
thickets. Turk's cap lily often spreads to form impressive colonies in
the wild but may be slow to spread in cultivation if given less than
optimum growing conditions. Lilium Superbum Turk's Cap Lily is best in
groups or masses and can be used for borders in native plant gardens,
meadows, or cottage gardens and is a good plant for moist low spots and
pond edges.
