Classification: Asiatic Hybrid (USDA Zones 3-10, lows to -40° F.) Stock # 1120 - 'Eclipse' - Asiatic Lily Bulb An interesting little Asiatic that we fell in love with the first time we saw it nestled into a bed of first time bloom seedlings. Named ‘Eclipse’ because of its unique color change during the aging process of the flower, each day the spots get darker and darker until they become a rich royal purple as can be seen in the photo. The flower in the lower left corner has just opened. The deeper colored flowers to the lower center and right are 4 days old. Featured on the back cover of our fall 2009 catalog, we were going to hold this lily back for another year, but your questions about this lily after the catalog was mailed prompted us to release a limited number of bulbs to our web customers that fall. The base color of the flowers is ivory to tan and we have found it to be very, very color fast. Cool weather seems to intensify the purple coloration in the spotting pattern. A June bloomer, ‘Eclipse’ is a bit shorter topping out at about 24 to 30 inches. Bred by Johan Mak of Scio, Oregon. Bulb Size - Our standard for bulbs of this Asiatic Hybrid Lily Bulb cultivar ranges from Premium-size™ (14/16 cm) to Exhibition-size™ (over 16 cm). Click here for details.
