As said before, these two species are responsible for the most part for ‘Stargazer,’ and its coloration and form is the tale of the hybridization. Its flower is a brilliant pink with noticeable darker bands running along the middle of the petals and spots, like its parent in L. speciosum; but its upright form and flowering period is similar to L. auratum. Stargazers tend to grow to be between four and five feet tall, with 5-6 flowers on the stalk.They are the easiest lily bulbs to grow in the garden, requiring well-drained acidic soil, and are hardy from zones 5-9. I daresay no garden should be complete without one
The stargazer fragrance is the benchmark I use in comparing other lilies. Its warm, sweet, and musky. The scent seems to combine Jasmine, lemon, and Asian Magnolia with a definite musk undertone. Its a sultry scent perfect for summer that makes its presence known in a room! What else can be said of the lily fragrance aside from magnificent?
