Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large upward facing dark pink flowers are produced in spring on sturdy stems. American Gladiator LA Hybrid Lily is a result of crossing the Easter Lilies with Asiatic Lilies providing the best of both worlds and producing long-lasting large clusters of upward facing lily flowers atop sturdy upright stems. The LA Hybrid Lilies make excellent cut flowers and has good vase life. Provide your LA Hybrid Lilies with a moderately fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny location for the best results.
