I bought Tut three or four years ago and was quite disappointed with it when I unpacked my order. Only 3 very tiny fans, very unlike an Oakes lily send. I figured maybe packed by a new employee or really short on stock. But I planted it and eagerly awaited it blooming. This year, it finally
bloomed and was so very pretty. Only two stalks with just a few buds on each, but the fans have multiplied nicely so I look forward to a bigger show next year. If not, I will move it to a new spot and see it it likes it better. I rated it at only 4 stars only because of the slow plant progress. I don’t regret buying it and in my experience, Oakes has the best quality and great customer service. I am a customer for life.

First year to bloom and 3rd bloom was an 8 petal/sepal polymerous . . .similar to what shown in the ad. I hope to have more. shown as mid season, but mine was an early bloomer. Very pretty

I have had Tut in my garden for 12 years and if I had to pick 20 (out 235) it would be one of them because it represents the new bloom season to me. It is one of the first to bloom and is simple but outstanding because of it’s by-color presentation. Not a profuse bloomer but enough; 6 scapes
and 60 buds in my N. Idaho location. Would probably have more bloom if not crowed like in my garden. UPDATE: It is now 9 years later and it just gets better every year. While it is listed differently, it is very early in my garden, actually one of the first to bloom every year.
