Michigan Lily (Lilium michiganense) bulbs
Can be shipped. These are dormant, bare-root bulbs that ship in March (spring orders), or September/October (fall orders)
Spring Sale: We accept pre-orders starting January 1st and ship pre-orders of dormant bulbs in March.
Fall Sale: We accept pre-orders during summer and ship pre-orders of dormant bulbs when they are ready in September or October.
Sizes: We have two sizes of bulbs, 3/4” diameter and 1/2” diameter bulbs.
3/4” bulbs will bloom in 0 - 2 seasons.
1/2” bulbs will bloom in 1 - 3 seasons.
These should be planted 2-3” deep immediately after receiving them (or stored in a fridge for up to 2 weeks). They can be planted outside as long as the soil is thawed. DO NOT store in a warm room, in the freezer, or in freezing temperatures. Add 1-2 inches of wood mulch on top to ensure they don’t dry out during fall or winter. Water right away to soak them into the ground.
Hummingbirds are attracted to the bright orange-red blooms on this native lily. Lily lovers and native plant lovers both enjoy these classic garden flowers. Once common to wet meadows across the Midwest, Michigan Lily (also known as Turks Cap Lily) is now rare. They spread by underground bulbs. Michigan Lily likes consistent moisture and mulch.
Our plants are started in the greenhouse from seed and transplanted into our production fields—never dug from the wild. Then we let them mature in the field for a couple of years before the bulbs are big enough to sell. If you are looking to buy Michigan Lily online, these are some of the highest quality bulbs available!
Deer like to eat Lilies and if you have deer problems in your garden you might want to consider fencing them off, planting them in the middle or back by taller plants, or spraying them every couple of weeks with deer repellent.
