Lilium 'Apricot Fudge' Asiatic Lily Bulb

This very unusual 'Apricot Fudge' Asiatic Lily holds its flowers upright along the stem, so that they really show off their unfurling peachy-apricot petals and rich chocolate-brown anthers. Often compared to roses, 'Apricot Fudge' has all the form of a hybrid tea with the staying power and easy care of a vigorous shrub rose.

'Apricot Fudge' is an L/A hybrid, one of that fascinating group bred from Easter Lilies (L. longiflorum) and Asiatic Lilies. It blooms in late spring or early summer in most climates, with good-sized flowers that open slowly and last a long time, thanks to waxy petals that keep both their color and their texture beautifully even when the weather is rainy, humid, or hot. The combination of apricot and brown is rare indeed in the plant world, and 'Apricot Fudge' will stand out in any setting.

This plant is a vigorous and easy-care addition to the sunny garden, thriving in good, well-drained soils for many years.
