For the past ten years, we've had the good fortune of ordering thousands of bulbs from A.D.R. each fall to help further beautify Newport, RI. Not only is the quality of the bulbs outstanding, so is their customer service and attention to detail.

Lilium henryi, also known as Henry's Lily, is a striking species lily native to China. It features nodding, orange blooms with maroon spotting and gracefully recurved petals, creating an elegant, wildflower-like appearance. Blooming from mid to late summer, it adds vibrant color and texture to garden borders. This variety grows 4 to 8 feet tall on slender stems with lance-shaped green leaves. It thrives in part shade to full sun with rich, organic, well-drained soil and requires consistent moisture. Hardy in USDA zones 5 to 8, it returns reliably each year and is highly resistant to disease.

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall or early spring, 4 to 6 inches deep and 12 to 18 inches apart. Choose a site where they can remain undisturbed for years—martagons resent transplanting.
Location: Partial shade is ideal, especially in warmer zones. They thrive in woodland-style settings with dappled light.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Avoid heavy clay—amend with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during active growth. Once established, they tolerate brief dry spells but dislike soggy conditions.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. Cold-tolerant and long-lived once settled.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to prevent self-seeding. Allow foliage to die back naturally. Cut stems to the ground in late fall.
Propagation: Divide clumps in fall only if necessary—martagons dislike disturbance. Also propagate by seed, though it takes several years to bloom.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues.
