Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is classified as an Asiatic hybrid belonging to the group I(a/b-c). According to the Royal Horticultural Society, the name 'Purple Rain' was officially reserved for this lily variety, which led to restrictions on the use of similar names for other hybrids.

Existing publications lack detailed morphological characteristics and agrotechnical descriptions of this variety. Information in open sources is often contradictory due to confusion with other plants bearing a similar name or erroneous identification with other lily varieties.
