Lilium 'Silk Road' is an Orienpet Lily with huge, 8″ flowers, intoxicatingly fragrant and borne on spires up to 2′ across for longer than you thought possible. Winner of the North American Lily Society's popularity poll for 4 straight years.

Stunningly beautiful Orienpet Lilies are hybrids between Oriental and Trumpet Lilies. Orienpets combine the best features of both groups of Lilies—fragrance, large flowers, and sturdy garden performance—but bloom about 2 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.

The out-facing flower form and pleasing fragrance are highly attractive to nearby pollinators. Expect this lovely lily plant to grow up to an astonishing 8' tall within three years. Easy to grow and maintain. Excellent plant habit with deep green waxy foliage. No support needed. Fragrant. Blooms in mid-late July.
