Lilies are one of the truly great garden plants, as they are beloved by gardeners everywhere. Their beauty, diversity, extended season of bloom, graceful stature and overall reliable disposition reflect the fruits of hundreds of years of selective breeding. In Chinese, the word Lily means forever in love. The lilium family is so large, varied, and complex that it is challenging to describe them in short. Lilies are deer and critter resistant. Plant just about anywhere - borders, beds, cutting gardens, perennial gardens, pots and containers. Stargazer lilies are very fragrant and are probably the best known of all lilies. These florist quality lilies have outward facing bowl shaped blooms, producing 6-8 flowers per stem. They are sturdy and long lasting, growing into impressive plants.
