Orienpet Lilies

Hybrid Lilies, OT Hybrid Lilies, Interdivisional Hybrid Lilies, Oriental/Trumpet Hybrid Lilies

Orienpet Lilies or OT Hybrid Lilies are the result of crossing Oriental Lilies with Trumpet/Aurelian Lilies. They combine the incredible beauty of the Oriental Lilies with the robustness, heat tolerance and colors of the Trumpet & Aurelian Hybrids. They provide the best of both worlds.

Adored by gardeners, Orienpet Lilies are outstanding garden plants. They are a real breakthrough in the history of Lily breeding. They enjoy better disease-resistance and increased reliability. They are also more drought, cold and heat tolerant than their parents.
Heavy-stemmed, these extraordinary lilies rise up to 3-8 ft. (90-240 cm) and are available in a rich array of colors, including lovely shades of yellows, reds, pinks and whites.
Reminiscent of the Trumpet Lilies, Orienpet Lilies produce huge, substantive, waxy flowers with slightly recurved petals.
Blooming towards the end of the lily season, Orienpet Lilies are perfect additions to the late summer garden. Their fresh and impressive blooms are welcomed by gardeners since many other plants have started to fade.
Not to forget: many Orienpet Lilies exude a delightful fragrance that will stop you in your tracks when you pass by!
