The robust and substantial plants are everything we hope for ina tetraploid, too, and the fragrance is just as compelling.

‘Iona’, a hybrid bred by Dr. Chris North, was named by a friend who felt this wonderful lily must be kept in cultivation.

Lightly fragrant, too!

What does “tetra” mean?
Tetra is short for “tetraploid,” meaning these lilies have four sets of chromosomes rather than the usual two (one from each lily parent).
What’s different about tetras? Stuffing the cells with twice as many chromosomes makes every cell bigger and crisper, creating statuesque plants with amazingly large, substantial flowers. It takes an extra year or two for us to grow these big plants to “mature flowering” size, but the added time and cost to produce these stupendous plants is worth every penny! |
