'Alessia' - Oriental Hybrid Lily Bulb

'Alessia'  - Oriental Hybrid Lily BulbClassification: Oriental Hybrid (USDA Zones 5-9, colder climates w/winter mulch.)

Stock # 7126 - 'Alessia' - Oriental Lily Bulb

Selected from Auratum, this is one of those lilies that works everywhere in the garden. The soft yellow color bands within each white petal show up well on their own, but they also blend with everything else in your garden adding a subtle accent as well. We have found few gold band or Auratum types over the years that can hold their own with the old ‘Imperial Gold’ strain, but ‘Alessia’ is a winner no matter what you compare it with. 3 Feet, Early July, Fragrant.

Bulb Size - Our standard for bulbs of this lily cultivar ranges from Premium-size» (16/18 cm) to Exhibition-size» (over 20 cm). Click here for details.
