 ‘Madame Butterfly’(Johan Mak) is a wonderful new Lilium henryi hybrid with swirling, rightly reflexed ivory “butterfly” form flowers with an apricot gold throat, accented with lots of lacy white “papillae’ (those beautiful raised “whiskers”) at the center. Flowering late in July and into August, it has graceful slender stems with lots of secondary buds that give it a long succession of flowers. 4 to 5 feet and taller, early to mid July.

Tetra! ‘Ortega’ (Johan
Mak) is an absolute show-stopper in the garden! It has
a wonderful inflorescence with perfectly-spaced whipped-cream
white trumpets, slightly “open” to reveal
their honey-colored throats, accented with delightful “whiskers.” This
tall, statuesque tetraploid combines strength, elegance,
and garden persistence. Stems will reach 4 to 5 feet
the first year, growing taller and more floriferous with
every passing summer. It reached 8 feet in its second year
in our garden! Mid to late July.

‘High
Stakes’ ( )
is an incredibly tall, incredibly floriferous, incredibly
yellow upfacing fragrant Trumpet from our “Skylights” Strain. Stems
reached 7 feet tall this July and carried 30 or more
flowers. And yes, they should be staked!

‘White
Henryi’ is
an indomitable classic, with white “sunburst” flowers
with deep orange centers. Selected by Leslie Woodriff
over 50 years ago, it has won
so many popularity polls that it is now in the lily Hall
of Fame! 4 to 5 feet and taller, July.
|
 |
‘Golden
Sceptre’
()
has golden yellow trumpets with a bronze reverse and the
signature potent, sweet trumpet fragrance. 4 feet and taller,
early July.
|
 |
Lilium henryi is
a virtually indestructible Chinese lily, with smaller,
tightly
reflexed, golden orange flowers with festive papillate “whiskers.” Cheerfully
accepts alkaline soils and almost any garden conditions!
3 to 6 feet (more when established), August.

Why do we list Lilium henryi with “Trumpet and
Aurelian Lilies?” Hybrids between this species
and Trumpets gave the first “sunburst” hybrids,
named “Aurelians.” We see L. henryi’s
color patterns in the golden colors in trumpet hybrids,
and its form in the later-blooming “sunburst” hybrids
such as ‘Louis XIV’ & ‘White Henryi.’
