Native Michigan Lily Seeds

$5.00

Michigan Lily is seriously one of North America's most spectacular native wildflowers, producing graceful, nodding orange blooms with dark spots that seem to float like clouds above the garden in midsummer. Its nectar-rich flowers attract a variety of hummingbirds, butterflies, native bees, and other beneficial pollinators.

As a water loving native, Michigan Lily thrives in moist prairies, open woodlands, and other naturalized landscapes, Michigan Lily brings an elegance that is nearly unmatched, and provides abundance for the wildlife that depend on it. A thriving grouping creates the unforgettable feeling of a wild Michigan meadow in full bloom.
