| Why
can flower color vary in Orienpets? Because
of their complex ancestry and the interaction of many
pigments, Orienpet lilies often have more intensely
colored flowers in cooler weather. Heat and bright
light can lighten their colors. The same stem of ‘Smoky
Mountain’ may have some flowers heavily washed
in red, with just a touch of gold near the edges,
and golden flowers with a light watercolor wash of
red. |
|
|
The “Orienpets” are
relatively new to the lily world, produced after
years of efforts to combine
the sublime beauty of the Oriental lilies with the more
garden persistent, heat tolerant and colorful Trumpet
and Aurelian hybrids.

‘Sizzle’ ( ) is a sister of ‘Pizzazz,’ showing a bit more Lilium henryi influence with its more recurved flowers and deeper tangerine-gold margins outlining their vivid red centers and shining green nectaries. Its flowers are slightly smaller but a bit more numerous than those of ‘Pizzazz,’ and it often carries more secondary buds, extending the flowering time. It’s a sturdy, vigorous, and fertile tetraploid, too.
4 to 6 feet (and taller), early August.
