Lily 'Sunny Morning' is a striking martagon lily that brings a warm, golden yellow to orange glow to your garden. The flowers are densely spotted, with each bloom offering a unique mix of bright golden tones and darker accents that seem to catch the light from every angle. With its graceful Turk’s cap shape, Lilium 'Sunny Morning' has an elegant, pendant-like form, adding a touch of drama and sophistication wherever it’s planted. Whether used to brighten a border or as a statement plant, its vibrant colours and graceful structure are sure to draw the eye.
This hardy lily reaches up to 1.2 metres in height, making it a perfect choice for the back of borders, where its upward-facing flowers can be admired from all angles. Lily 'Sunny Morning' thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a sunny spot, where it can bask in the warmth and put on its dazzling show. Its long-lasting blooms add beauty and interest throughout the summer, while its resilience means it will come back year after year. For gardeners looking to introduce a burst of colour and a touch of elegance, Lilium 'Sunny Morning' is the ideal addition.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade with rich, well-drained soil. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose or soil-based compost with added horticultural grit.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, 15–20cm deep and 15–20cm apart. Arrange them in groups of three to five for a generous, natural-looking display.
Water after planting, then keep the soil evenly moist once growth appears. Avoid waterlogging, particularly while the bulbs are dormant, and never let containers dry out completely.
Add stakes when planting taller varieties to avoid damaging the bulbs later. Remove faded flowers, but allow stems and foliage to yellow naturally before cutting them back.
