Description
The color of the stargazer flower is the main characteristic that defines its meaning. White symbolizes purity, innocence and simplicity. White stargazers are also used to convey sympathy. Pink stargazers symbolize romance, wealth and prosperity. Stargazers of both colors are used to send apologies or to express gratitude.
Stargazer lilies are fashionable for any occasion. The color of the flower directs its use to a degree, but with so many meanings attached to them, it is correct to use stargazer lilies to send any message you might wish. The scent makes the stargazer a favorite for Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and birthdays.
Oriental lilies are renowned for their delightful perfume and flamboyantmid- to late-summer blooms. The crimson cultivar ‘Stargazer’ is a popular hybrid with large, showy flowers that make it a showstopper when in bloom.
The cultivar ‘Stargazer’ was a breakthrough in lily breeding when it was introduced by hybridizer Mr. Leslie Woodriff in the late 1970’s. The flowers of plants in the Oriental lily group tend to hang down, but this complex auratum-speciosum cross of unknown parentage was noteworthy because of its upward facing flowers, hence the name referencing looking at the heavens. There are now many other cultivars with upward-facing flowers, in a variety of colors.
