Would you like to attract Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds or Monarch Butterflies to your garden? If yes, then plant Michigan Lilies! Michigan Lily (Lilium michiganense) has large, bright flowers that will brighten up your garden in the summer months. The strong backward curve of the petals distinguishes it from other lilies. It is great to plant as on a border of a garden or pond as it prefers sunny sites with moist soil. And don't let the name confuse you: Michigan Lilies are native to Ontario.
Our plants are in their second year of growth. As it takes around 4-5 years to produce blooms, our plants may take an additional 2-3 years to bloom from when they are planted this year. However, some bloom a bit quicker in optimal garden conditions.
Please note that Lilies are toxic to cats.
We hope to bring back Wood Lily in 2027. Wood Lilly (Lilium philadelphicum) is a shorter, more compact flower tolerating drier conditions than Michigan Lily.
Other name: Lilium canadense.
