Description
‘Bright Butterflies’ is a very vigorous Martagon Hybrid Lilium, with recurved, bright orange flowers, overlaid with red & deep red spots.
Great for cold areas! Hard to source in Australia. Consequently, usually twice our price.
‘Bright Butterflies’ was selected & introduced by Neil Jordan & is a Cam Lilies exclusive.
Martagon Hybrid Liliums are small but very beautiful Lilies. They flower here in late November to early December here.
Our other Martagon Hybrid Lilies include ‘Blonde Butterflies’, ‘Crimson Butterflies’, ‘Golden Butterflies’, ‘Lemon Butterflies’, ‘Manilla Butterflies’, White Martagon & ‘Henry’s Purple Martagon’. All of which make excellent companions.
Martagons like an open, neutral soil (pH7) with plenty of organic matter. Plant 200-300 mm deep with good drainage. A good mulch will reduce moisture loss and help protect from harsh summer sun. Prefers some shade.
Martagons originate from colder areas across Northern Europe and Asia. Consequently, they will readily tolerate quite heavy frosts. To clarify, they are very tough and will grow quite well in many warmer areas if planting depth, pH, shade and drainage needs are observed.
