Classification: Orienpet Hybrid Lily Bulb (USDA Zones 5-9, the colder climates of this range must provide winter mulching.) Stock # 9015 - 'Soul Dance' - Orienpet Hybrid Lily When we first viewed ‘Soul Dance’ the first thought that came to mind was the old Sun Valley / Oregon Bulb farm hybrid ‘Fellowship’ introduced back in 1980. More suited as a cut flower variety than garden lily, it soon fell by the wayside and left the garden world waiting for a replacement. At the time, ‘Fellowship’ was in a color class by itself, a clean, colorfast pink with a darker rose pink band and hardly any spots. It’s downfall was that it was not resistant to botrytis, a fungus similar to black spot on roses, and needed to be constantly sprayed as a garden subject. Now, almost 30 years later, we finally have ‘Soul Dance’ to fill the void. Almost a dead ringer for ‘Fellowship’, ‘Soul Dance’ is extremely resistant to botrytis, is just as color fast, and it is an Orienpet (Oriental x Trumpet Hybrid) to boot, giving it even greater stamina in all US gardens. It has been a long wait, but well worth it. ‘Soul Dance’ in the field usually runs between 3 and 4 Feet, but it should top 5 feet once established in the garden. Mid to Late July Bloom.
