Lilium Martagon 'Spec. Var. Rubrum Uchida (Spring)

Lily

Lilium speciosum var. rubrum 'Uchida' is a late-summer blooming species lily with deep carmine-red petals adorned with darker crimson spots and edged in white. The recurved petals give the flowers an elegant, wild appearance, and they are lightly fragrant, adding a delicate scent to the garden. Growing 4 to 6 feet tall, this variety thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 5 to 7, it is resistant to verticillium wilt and returns reliably each year. Originally cultivated in Japan.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Lilium Martagon 'Spec. Var. Rubrum Uchida (Spring)

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.
