We all recognize the Stargazer lily for some of the most amazing long-lasting blooms. In this post, I will introduce you to the ‘Saltarello‘ – Orienpet Lily that has been growing in my landscape since 2012.
A STAR in My Garden Landscape
This variety introduced in my landscape in 2012. If I would have known then that this flower would have been so amazing I may have planted it somewhere else in my garden because it is a show stopper. However, I love how the scent fills my front porch during the month of July. The flower is long-lasting and great for cutting and to enjoy indoors. Because of all these things I give it a FIVE STAR! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
About the Plant
First off I want to note that Orienpet Lilies or OT Hybrid Lilies are the results of crossing Oriental Lilies with Trumpet/Aurelian Lilies. How cool is that?!
This is the Lily Design for 13,000 stems or less and it sure has stood the test of time in my Ohio landscape. Below are a few fun facts to know about this beautiful flower that grows on a long stem for amazing color and scent.
