Lilium 'Stargazer' (the 'Stargazer lily') is a hybrid lily of the 'Oriental group'. Oriental lilies are known for their fragrant perfume, blooming mid-to-late summer.
Stargazers are easy to grow and do best in full sunlight.
They have a fast growth rate and should be planted in full sun in
well-drained loamy or sandy soil. When mature, 'Stargazers' can grow to a
height of 36 inches with a spread of 10 to 14 inches with 2 to 8
flowers per stem.
Stargazer lilies are often incorrectly called "Rubrum" lilies. Rubrums
were a predecessor commercial lily to the 'Stargazers' whose flowers
pointed down to the ground. Ergo:, consumers
thought the Rubrums' downward-facing flowers looked wilted. The
'Stargazer' lily was created in 1974 by Leslie Woodriff, a lily breeder in California, to overcome this downward look. Woodriff called the new cross 'Stargazer', because the blooms faced towards the sky.
The ASPCA reports this plant as being toxic to cats. They are said to cause vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, kidney failure,
and even death. Cats are the only species known to be affected.
There is a music group called The Stargazer Lillies; they are a mix of New Age, New Wave and Heavy metal music and similar to This Mortal Coil, Julee Cruise and Laibach (links below).
