First in Garden Lilies... Since 1978'Lesotho' - Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb
Lily Bulb Description
Fragrant. 4+ Feet. Late July / Early August flowering.
Lesotho, (le-soo-too) is known as Southern Africas kingdom in the sky. A stunningly beautiful, mountainous country known for its abundant summer rainfall, vast reserves of water and thick mountain mists. We feel that the fog enshrouded stem in our photo and the beginning of the foothills to our majestic Olympic Mountains in the background almost puts this lily right at home.
This Orienpet hybrid lily bulb produces big, fat buds that burst open to reveal large, solid lemon yellow, fragrant flowers with green reverse and raised papillae. 'Lesotho is nice as background or accent because of its height. In answer to all the questions about our photo last year, yes, that is really fog in the background which is typical of our NW weather in July and August. 4 to 5 Feet. Late July / Early August Flowering.
Bulb Size - Our standard for bulbs of this lily cultivar ranges from Premium-size (16/18 cm) to Exhibition-size (over 20 cm). Click here for details.
Classification: Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb (USDA Zones 5-9, the colder climates of this range must provide winter mulching.)
