LILIUM superbum
|
Description: This majestic lily is occasionally seen along roadsides in our area of Central New Jersey. It grows in rich soil near the edges of wetlands. The petals of the nodding, spotted, orange and yellow flowers recurve, inspiring the name turk’s cap. The species is native to eastern North America from New Hampshire south to Georgia and Alabama. This is the tallest of the native American lilies, typically growing 4-6 feet tall. Lance-shaped leaves are ar- ranged in whorls around the stems. Best in consistently moist, humusy soils.
