Lilium “Summer Sun” (LILY LOOKS) is a brand new pot lily from Arroyo Rights’ LA series. These LA lilies, created from a cross between Longiflorum and Asiatic lilies, have been developed with heat resistance, colour intensity and upward-facing flowers in mind. “Summer Sun” more than lives up to this with its upright flowers in a powerful, intense yellow colour and a flowering period of approximately 16 days. The flowers have a pleasant, slightly sweet fragrance.
The glossy, green foliage remains beautiful all the way down to the bottom of the stem, without yellowing – an important plus for its ornamental value in pots. Thanks to its good heat resistance, “Summer Sun” is particularly suitable for summer conditions, both for consumers and retailers.
The plant was developed by MAK/Arroyo from “t Zand and obtained as a seedling. Wetering Potlilium B.V. from Den Hoorn will market this lily from July 2025. Lilium ‘Summer Sun” is protected by plant breeders’ rights and has been submitted for the Best Novelty award.
