Oriental-Trumpet Lily, OT Hybrid, Orienpet Lily 'Purple Prince'

This plant grows and flowers great in both sun and partial shade, although sun gives you more blooms. This is the 3rd year I have grown ...Read Moreit and the tallest of the bunch is about 4 feet. With regard to the color - Once again a plant that has an absolutely beautiful color to it and they advertise it as something else - Why?

If things change as the plant grows, if its good I'll edit or delete my entry here. There isn't a place here to post my photo of it I took today, so it'll be in Plantfiles. I was fortunate enuff to have a coupon for this purchase, but if I had known the color was way off I'd have gotten something else. Surely they don't give coupon users whatever they want!
