Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large upward facing deep yellow flowers are produced in spring on sturdy stems. American Hero 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 good vase life. Provide your LA Hybrid Lilies with a moderately fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny location for the best results.
