The largest of the native lilies, Turk’s-Cap is a tall, showy perennial that reaches 3 to 7 feet in height. In early to midsummer it bears stunning, spotted orange flowers that droop with dramatically backwards-curled petals and protruding stamens. These large, showy blossoms are sure to attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and moths. Turk's-Cap Lily grows best in moist to wet soils and full sun, and can form large clumps over time.
