Lilium 'Nymph'
Lily 'Nymph' (Other)
Orienpet lilies are a hybrid of oriental lilies and trumpet Lilies. They combine the best features of both, having better disease-resistance, enhanced reliability and endurance, better naturalizing capabilities, as well as being more drought, cold and heat tolerant than either parent. The plants can grow very tall, as they get taller each year. The flowers are similar to Oriental Lily flowers, with a slightly lighter fragrance. 'Nymph' has near-white petals, graduating to lemon in the centre, and with a dark pink stripe down the centre of the petals. It is said to have a fragrance like 'cinnamon buns' Can grow up to 2 metres tall.
