Until now, the only reliable lily I've planted that would really naturalize in the Houston area had been the Philippine Lily (Lilium philippinense formosanum). . . until Triumphator. I was dubious about this new lily, but they are multiplying nicely in my Bellaire garden. I have them planted where they are spared hot Western afternoon sun. The blooms are gorgeous and fragrant. Well worth growing in 9b.

Great LO Hybrid! No need for staking, huge, outfacing flowers that open somewhat flatter than Easter lilies and extremely fragrant. The deep rose-pink throat really stands out against the base petal color too. Be aware though that this lily emerges from the soil very early (late March in south-west Michigan) and the new shoots need to be protected from hard frosts and freezes. The throat color also fades to a light pink after only a couple of days in full sun. Each stem typically has a mere 5-7 buds but my two clumps are showy for aprox. 3 weeks which isn't too shabby for Lilium. A relatively fast multiplier too which is good since everyone that sees it wants a piece.

My absolute favorite lily thus far!! Mature bulbs with little, if any, watering by me got to nearly 5 ft and had 7 blooms at most! They mature quickly, reproduce quickly, and have an awesome scent!

I bought one bulb on ebay this year. It's incredible! I have 3 buds and the first flower has just opened. One of the most stunning lilies I've ever seen, and the scent is just amazing.
I hope this one becomes more readily available. I'd love to add more.
