- Lilies bring a touch of the Orient to our British gardens, and you won't be disappointed with Lilium Stargazer
- It's perhaps one of the better known lilies, popular with growers and florists and with good reason. The exotic pink blooms will last for up to two weeks inside if you grow some for cutting
- The pink, star shaped blooms are attractively edged in white and will add drama to your summer borders, especially since, unlike other lilies, they hold their heads up almost as those they are looking at the stars
- The tall, erect dark green stems and glossy dark leaves mean that the foliage is also impressive
- These are ideal for growing in beds and borders and in containers
- This variety has a wonderful perfume that can really be enjoyed if you use the blooms as cut flowers inside your home
- Lily Stargazer is more robust than most varieties and will withstand harsher conditions than most lilies
What you need to know:
- 1 x Lilium 'Stargazer' (5 Bulbs)
- Height: 70cm
- Flowering: July to September
- Plant outside in the Autumn in a sheltered location in full sun or partial shade. Lilies will grow in most soils so long as it is moist and well drained. We recommend surrounding them with a little sharp sand both under and above the bulb when planting as this will keep slugs away and promote drainage
- Lilies will benefit from the shelter of low growing shrubs or other plants near their roots. In active growth, apply water freely and a high potash liquid fertilizer every two weeks
