Sun to Part SunZone: 6-9, at least 24" tall Origin: China
This is a very rare surprise lily we originally imported from China in the mid-1990s. The 20" flower stalks emerge from bare ground in late August, topped with large 6" flower heads of narrow, ruffled, light creamy-yellow flowers, occasionally tinged with pink as the flowers age. Our 10-year-old clumps are absolutely stunning! After the flowers finish, the bulbs produce short, strap-like basal green leaves in fall. Soils that don't dry out for long periods of time in summer produce the best flowers. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
