Stargazer Oriental Lily
The Stargazer lily is probably the best-known and most widely-grown of the Oriental lilies. This incredibly vivid crimson lily is unquestionably the most prominent lily in commerce. Widely-grown as a cut flower, it boasts garden-worthiness and container-worthiness as well. Late to emerge, it tends to withstand conditions which other Orientals cannot. The inflorescence is strongly upfacing and quite narrow and compact, which makes this variety especially suitable for certain purposes, especially small garden spaces and for floral design work. Naturally short, Stargazer is also desirable as a container lily, needing no growth regulators to suppress height. No staking is needed. Bulb size is 16-18 cm. Choose between 1 bulb or a 3-pack. Botanical name: Lilium orientalis 'Stargazer' Form: Perennial Hardiness Zone: 4-9 Flower Color: Crimson pink petals with white border Foliage Type: Linear, green leaves arranged in whorls or spirals up the stems Bloom time: August Height: 2-3 ft Spre
