White Henryi Aurelian Lily
Lilium ‘White Henryi’ has large open white flowers with a dark orange throat decorated with dark brown spots. Like most lilies it is fragrant but not overpoweringly so. It is attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. White Henryi belongs to the group of Aurelian lily hybrids which generally bloom in July on stout stems supporting masses of flowers. They are among the hardiest and most disease resistant of the lilies. The unsurpassed grace and beauty of this lily make it a lovely addition to the garden. Lilies 'like their feet in the shade and heads in the sun'. They tolerate hot summer days, as long as the bulbs are deep enough (or shaded enough) to remain cool. Lower plants surrounding the lilies will also help protect their roots from drying out. Lilies make an excellent cut flower with long-lasting blooms and buds that continue to mature and open after cutting. Unfortunately they must be protected from herbivores - rabbits and deer in particular.
