Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the Oriental hybrid group and is the world's first double-flowered Oriental lily.

The petals are colored in shades ranging from pale pink to raspberry-lilac, with greenish-yellow pistils and nectaries.

Flowering occurs in July–August, with a forcing period of approximately 90 days. The plant is resistant to leaf scorch and is winter hardy in zones 4–8. The variety prefers sunny areas or partial shade with well-drained soil, requires protection from strong winds, and does not tolerate waterlogging.
