The Fata Morgana yields lots of double blooms atop strong stalks. The blooms get to be about 5″ in diameter, upward facing, and are bright yellow with purple specks in the center. This variety is pollen free. It is a vigorous variety and has a long flowering period. The Fata will usually start blooming early to midsummer. The foliage of this lily is narrow and long lance-shaped with dark green coloring.

When growing in masses space out to 12 inches. The plant is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and not particular to soil type or pH. It has a medium growth rate.
