Classification: Oriental Hybrid Lily (USDA Zones 5-9, colder climates w/winter mulch.) Lily Bulb L-7316 - Here is the absolute Queen of the Strahm Oriental breeding line! Years ago when Oregon Bulb Farm had acquired the original stocks of many of Ruth and Harve's cultivars, this special clone was renamed 'Bonita', sold for a short time, and nearly lost to the lily world because it did not meet the standards for a greenhouse forcing lily. A very slow propagator, bulbs of 'Midnight Star' are available on a limited basis in spring only. This lily matures too late, to be offered for fall delivery; it requires a well-drained location, and does best in areas of cooler summer temperature to allow the blooms to reach their "dinner plate" potential in size. There is no other lily to match the beauty of 'Midnight Star'. 4 to 5 Feet. August. Bulb Size - Our standard for bulbs of this lily cultivar ranges from Premium-size» (14/16 cm) to Exhibition-size» (over 20 cm). Click here for details. |
