Lilium ‘Montego Bay’

Product Details

A Jamaican sunset captures the feeling of this fragrant Orienpet, whose long, elegant petals are suffused and freckled with red shifting gently to burnished orange yellow. A great companion planted in drifts with the yellow, oranges, and reds of Gaillardia or Roses.

Orienpets combine the best features of Oriental and Trumpet Lilies—fragrance, large flowers, and sturdy garden performance—but bloom about two weeks earlier than most Orientals. The advantage is an almost continuous sequence of Lily blooms, if you start with Asiatic varieties, then follow with Trumpets, Orienpets, and Orientals.

Plant Lilies in well-drained soil where they will receive 6–8 hours of sun a day. When cutting the flowers for bouquets, remove no more than 1/3 of the stem. This provides sufficient leaves on the remaining stem to renew the bulb for the coming year.
