Lilium Gluhwein (Orienpet Lily)

Introduced as a cut flower, Lilium 'Gluhwein' is a highly romantic-looking Lily full of charm. Just look at it! Soft peach flowers with a hint of cream and some reddish tones, pale pink edges, and deeply reflexed petals that reveal a golden throat. Lightly scented, its attractive blossoms contrast nicely with the nearly black stems and rich, dark green foliage.

• Blooming in mid-late summer, this Lily constitutes 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.
• Growing up to 3-4 feet tall (90-120 cm) and spreading 2 feet across (60 cm), it performs best in full sun or part shade and enjoys fairly fertile, well-drained soils. Good moisture is required and dry soils should be avoided!
• Reliable, easy to grow, beloved by bees and butterflies,
• Plant in spring or fall. Plant in groups of 3 bulbs at a minimum for a striking display! When flowering is over, cut back leaves and stems after they turn yellow.
• Toxic to cats (though not for dogs or any known species)
• This Lily is a member of the Other Hybrids Division (VIII) which includes all interdivisional hybrids, such as Longiflorum/Asiatic (LA) hybrids, Longiflorum/Oriental (LO) hybrids, Oriental/Asiatic (OA) hybrids, and Oriental/Trumpet hybrids (Orienpets or OT hybrids). There are 9 different types of lilies classified by the Royal Horticultural Society. And they are all real eye-catchers!
• 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.
