Oriental Lily 'Star Gazer' (Lilium 'Star Gazer'): Iconic Fragrant Beauty

'Star Gazer' (often spelled Stargazer) is perhaps the most famous Oriental lily hybrid, introduced in 1978 by Leslie Woodriff. Its large, upward-facing blooms feature deep crimson-pink petals edged in white, with prominent dark speckles and a powerful, sweet fragrance. A mid-to-late summer bloomer, it makes a stunning cut flower and garden focal point.
