Lilium (lily) Stargazer
6 bulbs for € 12.00
Lilium Oriental
Very well-known and wonderfully fragrant variety.
Pink flowers with white.
Plant your lily bulbs at the right depth, at least 10 cm of soil above the bulb. For very thick lily bulbs, this can also be 15 cm. Planting deep is important because the lily also develops stem roots.
In gardens, lilies are appreciated as attractive eye-catchers in colorful flower beds, in combination with perennials, in rock gardens, and gardens with wild plants, or as potted plants.
The flowers are valuable cut flowers.
The lily is truly full of symbolism. The main symbolic meanings are:
- Femininity. In the time of the Greeks and Romans, brides were given a crown of lilies in the hope of a pure and fruitful life.
- Love. In Victorian times, receiving a sweet-scented lily meant: ‘This is my lover’
- Purity. White lilies are often used at weddings as a sign of virginity and purity.
- Transience. The serene and pure appearance of the lily expresses emotions in times of loss and mourning.
How can you enjoy your bouquet for as long as possible? Here are some tips:
- Fill a clean vase with tap water at room temperature and add cut flower food.
- Cut the flower stems at a 3 to 5 cm angle with a sharp and clean knife.
- Make sure no leaves are hanging in the water and regularly top up the water.
- Do not place your bouquet in a draft, in direct sunlight, near heating, or next to a fruit bowl.
Extra tip: Is there any pollen from your lilies? Do not wipe it away with your hand, but gently dab it with a dry sponge.
