Lilium Golden Splendor

Golden Splendor is just like African Queen an American trumpet lily from the fifties. These excellent garden lilies were old and the growth power decreased. By selecting the best plants from the batches, and making them virus-free in a laboratory, they could start a second youth again.

Truly beautiful, man-sized lilies whose floral splendor spreads a wonderful scent and which return year after year

The following text from the fifties says a lot about how this lily was thought of when it was first introduced: This type of lily is exceptionally healthy, they hardly suffer from diseases, can withstand cold and frost very well and grow in almost any type of soil. Foolproof lilies. In another book from that time you will find the words: robust, not fussy about soil type and climate, healthy and an inexhaustible amount of variation in color and flower shapes. To this day these words still apply.
