Turk's Cap Lily, or Lilium superbum, is a beautiful perennial native to the central and eastern regions of North America
With flaming orange and yellow petals, comparable to a warm tropical sunset, this flower is kissed with dark freckles and bursting with long, wispy stamen. Blooming from early to mid-summer, the Turk's Cap Lily typically grows 3-7 feet tall, though some stalks have been recorded as tall as 9 feet. This lily produces around 1-12 blooms per stalk and will flower for about a month. With such exotic appeal, this lily not only makes a stylish addition to gardens and lawns but attracts hummingbirds as well. Though the flower grows exceptionally in gardens and exterior borders of the home, it is also a long-lasting cut flower, brightening a room or lifting one's spirit humbly from a vase.
