Protected Series: SUNNY
Zone: 3LILY LOOKS™ SUNNY MARTINIQUE ORIENTAL LILY
The Lilium orientalis 'Sunny Martinique' is part of the Sunny™ series and is a high-impact, dwarf Oriental lily known for its extra-large, strongly fragrant blooms on a compact plant, making it a favorite for patio containers and garden borders. Part of the Lily Looks™ series, 'Sunny Martinique' features deep pink-red, star-shaped flowers with beautifully contrasting white margins on the petals. It is a reliable, late-summer bloomer that typically reaches a height of 15 to 18 inches, producing 4-7 large flowers per sturdy stem. Its intense sweet fragrance and robust nature ensure it delivers a show-stopping display in any sunny location.
For optimal growth (hardy in Zones 3-9), plant 'Sunny Martinique' in full sun to light shade and in a well-drained, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter. Deep planting helps stabilize the plant, eliminating the need for staking. Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season and apply a mulch layer to help keep the roots cool, which Oriental lilies prefer. After the flowering period, remove the spent blooms (deadhead), but resist cutting back the foliage until it has fully yellowed and died back in the fall; this allows the bulb to store energy for a strong return of its dazzling and aromatic flowers next summer.
