Trogon Asiatic Lily

Trogons, a brightly-colored family of birds native to the tropics of the Pacific and South America, are beloved by ornithologists for their beautiful plumage. It's no wonder that the Trogon lily fits with its namesake! This mid-summer lily features vibrant color on both the fronts and back of its petals — showy even for an asiatic lily. Its huge flowers measure nearly six inches in width. The deep pink petals are pale orange-yellow at the base, and encircle brightly-colored anthers. Lilies like their feet in the shade and faces in the sun, so plant this Asiatic lily behind or among other perennials for a dramatic effect. Lilium asiatic 'Trogon'
