(Oriental) Sumatra is a prize of a lily. Cut flower growers have cornered the market on this very special lily, making it very difficult to obtain on the American bulb market, without pulling strings. We can't convey sufficient enthusiasm to describe one of the darkest and most show-stopping lilies in commerce. Flowers are ENORMOUS, very fragrant. and have a ruffled edge. Color is a dense purple-red, with even deeper bands and black red in the center, with an accent of black spots and red pollen. There is a hint of white at petal tips. The more these flowers age, the darker they become, transforming to near-black throughout. Bulb size is 18/20 cm.
Height: 4-5 ft.
Bloom Time: August
