Description
If you are looking for something a little different in your summer garden this year, give a thought (or a whole lot of thinking) to the possibility of calling in the Night Rider, a 'black' Lily that will give a whole new look to your landscape. Lily 'Night Rider' combines colours you wouldn’t normally associate with lilies – milk and dark chocolate (almost black) petals trimmed with black provide a rich background to the deep orange and milk chocolate stamens!
'Night Rider's coffee house colouring will provide a delicious contrast to cream, white, orange or red lilies, or fluffy dahlias for a textural change.
