‘PURPLE PRINCE’ Orienpet Lily

Description

Purple Prince ORIENPET Lilies are ONE OF MY FAVORITES.  The blooms are unique and it is rather a hard Lilly to find just anywhere. I have this, as I am a Prince Fan, I went to the “PURPLE RAIN” concert in the 80s. When this Lily was named ‘Purple Prince’ I knew I needed to make a garden featuring Purple Minnesota legion. This is an outstanding performer, and is an absolute in my eyes.
