Lilium
Lilium speciosum var. rubrum 'Uchida' is a late-summer blooming species lily with deep carmine-red petals adorned with darker crimson spots and edged in white. The recurved petals give the flowers an elegant, wild appearance, and they are lightly fragrant, adding a delicate scent to the garden. Growing 4 to 6 feet tall, this variety thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 5 to 7, it is resistant to verticillium wilt and returns reliably each year. Originally cultivated in Japan.
