Unique Characteristics:   This 'American Series' Orienpet lily is a cross between a Trumpet lily and an Oriental lily resulting in extraordinary flower size and substance. A common characteristic of the American Series lilies is that rather than producing many daughter bulbs, these lilies put all their energy into developing large mother bulbs resulting in their large impressive stature. The bulbs are slow to split apart. Unlike most dutch bred lilies that are selected for their cut flower or out-of-season forcing ability, these are bred in field conditions with unpredictable weather conditions and have turned out excellent.
 
Pruning:   Cut back stems by 1/3.
 
Time of Pruning:   After flowering.
 
Additional Information:   Division VIII lilies. Cross of Trumpet lilies and Oriental lilies.
