Doing a little data collection on these "purple" lilies coming out of Holland. Who holds up color and substance in the garden?
New for me this year is 'Tartano' who initially has shown some promise with good substance, strong petals and vivid color with heat in the 90 degree range.


Last year a lot of these "purples" literally just about melted in the heat. One in particular, 'Blueberry Crush' was especially sad with temps in the 100 degree range. I see an OT as something that can take full sun without fading, or without fading much. After all, they tell me that these have the excellent qualities of both trumpets and orientals. But I am finding OT lilies are not all bred equally.
