Rich colour and compact form make this lily a standout in summer, with each stem carrying multiple small, nodding blooms that show recurved orange-yellow petals covered in fine red spotting. Upright growth and whorled, glossy green leaves give it a tidy, layered structure that works well in mixed borders, woodland edges, or lightly shaded spots where the flowers can be viewed from below.

The blooms hold their shape well and sit clear of the foliage, making them useful for cutting and for adding height without overwhelming nearby plants. It grows steadily in well-drained soil, appreciating sun or partial shade and a sheltered position to protect the stems.

Lilium ‘Sunny Morning’ naturalises gradually, returning reliably each year with stronger clumps and an increasing number of flowering stems.
