  • Posted by Ispahan (Chicago - Zone 6a) on Jun 30, 2012 4:13 PM concerning plant:
    An excellent, tall Asiatic lily hybrid with saturated yellow, pendent blooms with heavy dark spotting. Mine are nearly six feet tall in their first season and have performed beyond my expectations in my street side "hell strip." There is no fragrance, but the vigor and beauty of this strain more than make up for it.
