Lilium orientale x nepalense 'Zeba'
Lilium orientale x nepalense 'Zeba' is a rare beauty with creamy white and green petals with dark red centres.
Description:
'Zeba' is the result of a rare cross of Lilium nepalense with an Oriental lily, the same cross that produced 'Kushi Maya'. It is a rare beauty in a class by itself not only in breeding but in form with 12 inch wide blooms towering on 4-5 foot tall stems with a lovely, exotic fragrance. The creamy white petals are flushed with green and overlaid with deep chocolate maroon centres that are lightly speckled. Hybrid vigour makes this cultivar robust and vigorous.
