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!

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.’

and forms: pink, white, yellow and orange. These lilies
are superb in the garden, prized for their long trumpet
flowers and incredibly sweetscent.

What does “tetra” mean?
Tetra is short for “tetraploid,” meaning these lilies have four sets of chromosomes rather than the usual two (one from each lily parent). What’s different about tetras? Stuffing the cells with twice as many chromosomes makes every cell bigger and crisper, creating statuesque plants with amazingly large, substantial flowers. It takes an extra year or two for us to grow these big plants to “mature flowering” size, but the added time and cost to produce these stupendous plants is worth every penny!
