Lilium auratum

Description

This Japanese heirloom has bright white, slightly recurved flower petals with russet-red speckles, brilliant golden-yellow rays banding each petals center and pale lime-green stamens. Abundant producers for lush garden display or summer flower arrangements, Orientals have large reflexing flower petals and a wonderfully sweet fragrance. Quite simply, one can never have enough Oriental Lilies. Make sure to plant them near terraces and bedroom windows, alongside well-visited summer porches and in cutting gardens so that you may savor their heady fragrance every possible moment. We ship them to the coldest areas first, just as soon as they are in from the Dutch harvest in mid-October. Bulb size: 16/18 cm. July/August.
