Notes
'Magic Star' lily (Lilium 'Magic Star') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The double blooms have white to pale pink petals striped with raspberry red and red speckles. They open in early to late summer and have a sweet, spicy fragrance that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Plant it in groups of 3 to 5 for the best show.
Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Black Beauty peony, Nodding onion, and Polish Spirit clematis.
