Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lilium 'Scheherazade' is a giant tree lily with gloriously huge, delightfully fragrant flowers of crimson-red edged in gold with recurved petals tipped in white that later fade to cream. A prolific and long-lasting bloomer. Ideal for the back of the border, vertical appeal, and in the vase. OT hybrids or Orienpets combine the best of the Oriental and Trumpet lilies on huge plants that can reach three feet in year one, six feet in year two, and up to eight feet tall in year three earning their nickname "tree lilies"!
