I'm wondering what the record height is of these. Most of them have reached 5 feet tall and are covered with buds. I have 44 oriental lilies in my backyard.

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.

When they are in bloom, the aroma is mesmerizing. 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.

According to experts, stargazer lilies are poisonous for cats only. While stargazers have emerged as popular garden plants, apprehensions regarding their toxic nature can be really upsetting for any plant enthusiast. Unfortunately, this spectacular lily is found to be toxic. Stargazer lilies are commonly grown in almost all parts of North America, and other places with suitable growing conditions. The large and breathtakingly beautiful flowers are fragrant and come in colors, like pink, red, orange, and white. It produces flowers in clusters and four to five flowers are found in each stem.

This lily plant has sturdy stems, that can grow to a height of around 30 inches. This feature is very uncommon among lilies, and hence the name ‘stargazer’. The name is derived from the upright nature of the flowers, that face the sky. The stargazer is an oriental hybrid lily, which was developed in 1978.
