    Utterly captivating. Up to 30 blooms per stem equals long season to bloom. Very vigorous. Needs good drainage.
    Zeus is a fertile polyploid with Leslie Woodriff's "Pink Tiger" in it's background, it is best as a pollen parent on other Asiatics. From Buggy Crazy.
    One of my 5 most favorite liies.
