Lilium ‘Candy Club’ (Orienpet Lily)

Screaming for attention, Lilium ‘Candy Club’ (Orienpet Lily) is a striking bulbous perennial with flamboyant dusty pink flowers, blending to creamy-white on the edges of the gracefully reflexed petals. Delightfully scented, its attractive blossoms contrast beautifully with the rich, dark green foliage and add drama wherever you place this Lily. Blooming in mid to late summer, this Orienpet Lily is an excellent border plant, providing striking color and contrast to the perennial border and mixing beautifully with annuals and other summer flowering bulbs. It is well suited to containers and the cutting garden as it makes excellent fresh-cut flowers.

Adored by gardeners, Orienpet Lilies are outstanding garden plants. They are a real breakthrough in the history of Lily breeding. They enjoy better disease resistance and increased reliability. They are also more drought, cold, and heat tolerant than their parents. Blooming towards the end of the lily season, Orienpet Lilies are perfect additions to the late summer garden. Their fresh and impressive blooms are welcomed by gardeners since many other plants have started to fade.
