Strawberry Event boasts some of the biggest and brightest lilies of its kind. It gladly offers up its 5–7" bright red flowers on stately stems that reach an impressive 4' tall, making them ideal for back borders or cutting gardens. A liberal sprinkling of black freckles dot each lily's face and, combined with slightly reflexed petals, give the bloom a highly dimensional look. A must for the discerning gardener or anyone who enjoys elegant flowers in a decidedly dramatic hue. And thanks to Strawberry Event's strong growth habit, there are plenty of blooms to be had.
