Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Good for naturalizing, for use in a cottage garden or in a border. Best grouped or massed. Does well in moist soil, but not wet, and not too fertile, or the tops will get too heavy and fall over. Full sun preferred, and will tolerate some drought, once established.

Additional Notes about Michigan Lily:


Native to Ontario

 

Seed dispersal is mainly by wind:  the small seeds have big 'wings'. These plants also propagate by bulb 'splits'.
