Product Description

Flower Description: It’s been so long since we offered this clone, that the original 35mm slide has disappeared, so we scanned a catalog from the early 90’s (see inset) to give you an idea of just how many dark red, downfacing flowers these stems can produce. One of the earliest of the Stone & Payne Hybrids out of Piedmont, CT, Red Velvet is a Triploid lily and is tough as nails. 4 Feet, July Flowering. Nonscented.

Many years ago, before Internet and Email, Alan Lacy, then with the NY Times, paid our production field a visit and did a feature on 'Red Velvet' and how much he enjoyed viewing it through his breakfast nook window each morning. Several days later, our postman showed up with a 7 1/2 pound bundle of mail all requesting catalogs. Needless to say, it took years to catch up with the demand.
