Mister Pistache
Mister Pistache, Oriental x Trumpet lilies are called 'Orienpets' in the U.S.A. and either O.T. hybrids or 'Tree Lilies' in Europe, Mister Pistache is from the U.S.A. hence it is an 'Orienpet'. Why is this important, because they have totally different characteristics. Unlike 'Tree Lilies' 'Orienpets' tend to take a year or so, to really get going, it is quite normal for bulbs to produce, quite weak stems in the first season, with only a few flowers. When they get established they get much better, often reaching heights over 1.5 meters with 20 or more flowers on a stem, and standing out in a crowd, always needs staking. Flowers from early August onward. Bulb size 20/22cm.
