‘Scheherazade’
() is one of the most successful garden plants we have created; this lily is flourishing around the world! Deep red recurved flowers are edged in gold, shading into white margins, and the throat shows the same dramatic color pattern. This was our first “Orienpet” hybrid, and its popularity soon earned it a place in the Hall of Fame! This is the hardiest and healthiest of plants, and can easily reach 8 feet or more when established.
4 to 6 feet (first year), mid-August.
