This is my most successful Oriental. I have them in large pots and in their second year they have produced as many as a dozen huge, fragrant, dramatically- coloured blooms on each sturdy stem.They were not first quality bulbs to begin with either.

Absolutely gorgeous lily with a sweet/spicy powerful fragrance. It has been growing at least 5' tall in 1/2 shade amongst hosta and vinca in my back flower bed. Each stalk is loaded with 6-10, big white flowers with a striking bold pink speckle pattern inside. I find I must stake these beauties, or else rain will knock them over to the point where the stems break. I just bought 5 more bulbs to plant in my mostly sunny front border. I hope I get similar results!
I only added this lily this spring, planting two bulbs on May 6th. I honestly did not expect any blooms, but I was rewarded with three buds on each stem. The blooms are large for first year flowers, and the stems barely reached 24" in their first year. I can only imagine how they will improve next year. Very worthwhile!

an early blooming oriental, she is smaller in stature and looks wonderful scattered between bushes and perennials throughout my front bed. this shades her feet too. i planted mine in may of 2003 and she was blooming and gorgeous, in my morning sun garden, by july 25th. if she was this beautiful this year, i can't wait for next year.
