Lilium (OT Hybrid)
An interspecific cross between Oriental and Trumpet Lilies, OT hybrids have the best characteristics of both. Flowers are often similar in shape to the orientals but are even larger with improved vase life, shorter growing times, and disease resistance. OT lilies also come in some very striking color combinations never seen before and are a must for every garden.
