Description
(48-84 in tall x 12-18 in wide) Native Turk’s Cap Lily stands tall with erect stems bearing green lance-shaped foliage. Its downward-facing blossoms curve back towards the sun, revealing speckled petals. With abundant 2-4-inch blossoms, and at a height of 4-7 feet tall, Turk’s Cap is a delight in the mid-summer garden. It will naturalize when happy to form colonies of dancing flowers. This native plant is known for attracting Swallowtail butterflies, including the Spicebush, Pipevine, and Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies, as well as Great Spangled Fritillaries. Plant in compost-enriched, moist soil with good drainage, where it won’t dry out, in a full sun to part shade location. Plant bulbs in groups of three for best effect. A compost mulch will help keep roots cool. Long lasting and elegant as cut flowers; remove the stamens to avoid staining and take no more than 1/3 of the stem to protect the plant. Common names include Turban Lily, Swamp Lily, and American Tiger Lily.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
