Notes

'Stargazer' lily (Lilium 'Stargazer') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 fragrant blooms open pink, red, and white from early to late summer, with a deep red-pink center that fades to white edges. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Keep it away from cats, since it is toxic to them.

Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Sarah Bernhardt peony, and Quick Fire panicle hydrangea.
