tall (90 cm), this Lily performs best in full sun or part shade and is not fussy about soils, provided they are well-drained. Plant in groups of 3, 6 or 12 bulbs for a striking display! It is well suited to containers and the cutting garden as it makes excellent fresh cut flowers.Blooming for weeks in mid-late summer, this vigorous beauty constitutes an excellent border plant, providing striking color and contrast to the perennial border and mixes beautifully with annuals and other summer flowering bulbs.Born on sturdy stems, they contrast nicely with the glossy, strap-like leaves and barely require any staking. Just look at it and you will understand why! Its abundant and large, bowl-shaped flowers, up to 8 per stalk, face the sky as they open, exuding an unforgettable fragrance. Heavily fragrant, spectacular with its flamboyant, crimson-pink flowers adorned with dark spots and white edges, Lilium 'Star Gazer' (sometimes spelt 'Stargazer') is one of the most popular Oriental Lilies.
