L. x haywardii combines the best traits of its parents (L. sprengeri x L. radiata var. pumila). The flower of L. x haywardii resembles that of L. sprengeri except for having more dissected petals (via L. radiata), and more of a magenta-pink flower color. Just as in L. sprengeri, the tip of each petal is bright blue, but the color does not permeate the center of the flower as it does in L. sprengeri. For us, this has been one of the earliest of the surprise lilies with a normal flowering time of July.
Beautiful flower with pronounced blue tinges. Blooming in April for me. Planted inground, gets morning sun.
