I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail. The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization. I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Lilium Martagon 'Spec. Var. Rubrum Uchida (Spring)

Lily

Lilium speciosum var. rubrum 'Uchida' is a late-summer blooming species lily with deep carmine-red petals adorned with darker crimson spots and edged in white. The recurved petals give the flowers an elegant, wild appearance, and they are lightly fragrant, adding a delicate scent to the garden. Growing 4 to 6 feet tall, this variety thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 5 to 7, it is resistant to verticillium wilt and returns reliably each year. Originally cultivated in Japan.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Lilium Martagon 'Spec. Var. Rubrum Uchida (Spring)

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall or early spring, 4 to 6 inches deep and 12 to 18 inches apart. Choose a site where they can remain undisturbed for years—martagons resent transplanting.
Location: Partial shade is ideal, especially in warmer zones. They thrive in woodland-style settings with dappled light.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Avoid heavy clay—amend with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during active growth. Once established, they tolerate brief dry spells but dislike soggy conditions.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. Cold-tolerant and long-lived once settled.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to prevent self-seeding. Allow foliage to die back naturally. Cut stems to the ground in late fall.
Propagation: Divide clumps in fall only if necessary—martagons dislike disturbance. Also propagate by seed, though it takes several years to bloom.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues.
