DescriptionThis highly unusual lily boasts a parentage that combines the best of the Far East and the U.S. into one fine, fragrant flower. Outward-facing, 6" blooms of rich red are generously speckled in black with large, vibrant yellow centres. Strong stalks easily bear the weight of the abundant lilies, and grow to 3' in the first year, up to 5' thereafter. A lovely focal point planting, it also attracts butterflies and makes a great cut flower.LiliumDetails
