Aelita

Description

‘Aelita’  Registered Asiatic.    

This is another  stunning upward European out-facing asiatic lilium that will glow not only in your very own oasis, but soon capture the glowing light within your soul.   The height of the inflorescence is somewhat astounding. I am finding this to be one of my absolute favorites of asiatic lilium and I would love to have a field of these stunning beauties. Exotic, Wild,  Unruly, Sensuous and above all Sexy in the gardens….  These are very hard to get and I have never seen them grown commercially   Mine have increased wildly this season and I have a few to offer this year.  8.00 each
