Perfect for naturalising in light shade, Lilium martagon ‘Peppard Gold’ is a relatively new variety of Turk’s Cap Lily.

Tall stems hold numerous flowers, sometimes up to 50 blooms each, which unfurl in June and July from tight pinkish buds.  The turban-like flowers hang demurely, featuring petals of bronzed-orange which dramatically recurve back on themselves.  A cluster of powdery, burnt orange anthers hang tentatively from slender lime filaments, further enhancing the exotic looks of this charming lily.

Fully hardy and perennial, Martagon Lilies are known for lasting decades in the garden, most at home in a mixed, deep border in dappled shade.
