Deep golden yellow, intoxicatingly scented blooms with reflexed (backward curled) petals characterize this exceptional lily cultivar. Golden Splendour blossom exteriors are brushed with deep maroon or purple, adding an eye catching contrast at shoulder to head height. These back of the border Amazons produce up to 10 outward facing blossoms on each slender stem in mid to late summer, earning a high visibility location in any garden. Long lived and reliable.
