Fragrant Lily

Lilium Oriental 'After Eight®' PPAF

Slender stalks topped with a cluster of large, exotic, fragrant flowers.

Oriental Lilies are later to bloom than other types, with intoxicatingly fragrant star-shaped flowers that are superb for cutting. They prefer a rich, moist soil on the acidic side, with similar needs to Rhododendrons. This compact selection has petals of deep cherry-pink with a crisp white edge, very much like the well-known ?Stargazer? but much shorter in habit. Especially nice in tubs or containers. Remove dead stems in the fall. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
