Overview

Rich colour and compact form make this lily a standout in summer, with each stem carrying multiple small, nodding blooms that show recurved orange-yellow petals covered in fine red spotting. Upright growth and whorled, glossy green leaves give it a tidy, layered structure that works well in mixed borders, woodland edges, or lightly shaded spots where the flowers can be viewed from below.

The blooms hold their shape well and sit clear of the foliage, making them useful for cutting and for adding height without overwhelming nearby plants. It grows steadily in well-drained soil, appreciating sun or partial shade and a sheltered position to protect the stems.

Lilium ‘Sunny Morning’ naturalises gradually, returning reliably each year with stronger clumps and an increasing number of flowering stems.

Care guide

Lilies can be planted at any time from early autumn to mid-spring. Planting in autumn often helps them settle in and become better established before they start to put on their new spring growth, but spring planting is a better option if your soil is heavy and wet during winter.

Choose a sunny spot, preferably where the plant receives a little light shade at its base, and plant each bulb 15-20cm (6-8in) deep in a well-drained soil, enriched with well-rotted organic matter or leaf mould. Space them at 30cm (12in) intervals and provide support before the flowers appear.

Deadhead the faded blooms promptly and cut the dead stems back to ground level at the end of autumn.
