Lily plant named Daystar

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid lily plant bearing large clusters of flowers of excellent form particularly distinguished by their pale cream yellow/soft pink bicolor pattern and by their lack of any spotting. The flowers of this new plant are characterized by their long persistence both on the plant and as cut flowers and with the unusual color combination are completely new in the upright Asiatic division of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. This plant is highly resistant to disease and shows high tolerance of virus, it is an excellent garden plant, and its bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut flower production. The clone is vigorous and is an excellent grower and propagator.
