Bulbs are best planted in groupings to create focal points and an attraction for butterflies and hummingbirds. They do as well in containers as in gardens. Stargazer lilies are sturdy, tall plants that thrive in almost any type of soil as long as they get sufficient sun. Stargazer lilies are perennials grown from bulbs and do best in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 8.
STAR GAZER LILLIES UPDATE
I am pretty excited to see how these look with my Casa Blanca's and Tiger Woods.By Jo Cosgrove | Ecological Gardener, Horticulturist, and Educator – last update on December 2, 2021 I really like this lily so I have ordered 10 more bulbs to add to my garden this April of 2011. This plant doesnt need staking due to a lot of other plants surrounding it so it gets some good wind protection. The flowers are fragrant and huge compared to what they were when it was first planted. My original Stargazers were planted back in 2002 and I am down to one remaining lily in my garden.

I have 44 oriental lilies in my backyard. On May 29, 2013, GingerJane from Olympia, WA wrote: On Jul 29, 2014, cinemike from CREZIERES,Įven though it is a bit kitsch, I love this liliy. Even if this is all the bloom I ever get though, I still think it is worth growing. I do not know if my blooms are sub-standard because of the heat or the fact that the plant is young, so I will go ahead and give it another year to establish and see how it does. My blooms are not quite the beauties that others seem to be growing but I still enjoyed the blooms greatly. I have issues growing some Orientals in our heat here - The buds burn.

I have over a dozen planted in my front yard and they come back year after year without much care. Love this lily! My favorite flower for sure.

When the fragrance wafts across my nose, it is sickeningly sweet and not well tolerated, but that may be a personal preference. Other Lilies I grow have spread underground quite well, but not this one. On May 18, 2015, wakingdream from Allentown, PA wrote:Īfter many years of growing Star Gazer, it has not multiplied. So sad! I'm sure the bulb is fine and will try again next spring, but so sad to miss this year. BUT a few weeks ago I accidently stepped on the first shoots coming up, which broke them off, and it didn't send up any more shoots. It bloomed well the next year ('10) and ever since. There had been a plant sale the weekend before and our tour guide told us we could browse the leftovers. I love my Star Gazer lily! I bought it at a garden tour after my first garden club meeting.

I'm going to move them to another less accessible area where I can see them and the deer will be less likely to go. Half of my lilies were munched down to nearly bare stalks last week (2nd week of May). Also a word of caution for those of you living near woodlands - I just learned that lily buds are a favorite snack for deer. The moment the plant breaks the ground in spring, it's slug deterrent time - slugs will mow them down the moment tender new shoots are visible. Here in the Pacific Northwest, even with a lot of rainy days, these garden glories seem to bloom with even partial sun (although those in semi-shaded areas are smaller plants & blooms). Of all the flowers in my garden, this is one of my favorites.
