Oriental Trumpet Lily ‘Robert Swanson’ is one of our favorite Oriental Lilies, with its big striking red blooms (up to 7"), edged in a buttery yellow. Its light-green stigmas add another layer of contrast for a mid to late summer show that’s perfect in your perennial plant bed. Long-lasting and sweetly fragrant, the flowers (up to 40 per bulb!) make lovely cut flowers as well as pollinator friendly additions to the garden.
