Guinea Gold - Lilium Martagon
L3392
Description
Stems of up to 40 flowers are produced every summer from outstanding hybrid Martagon lily ‘Guinea Gold’.
Soft pink buds open throughout June and July to reveal golden down-turned blooms marked with mahogany spots. This abundant, ‘Turk’s cap’ lily is so called thanks to its reflexed petals which curl back on themselves, giving a turban-like appearance. The flowers are wonderful for cutting, so be sure to plant enough bulbs to spare a stem or two for the vase.
Perfect for a lightly-shaded border which has well-drained, rich soil – there it will thrive and naturalise, returning for decades to come.
