Growing & Maintenance Tips for Lilium michiganense

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.
