The Stargazer lily is probably the best-known and most widely-grown of the Oriental lilies. This incredibly vivid crimson lily is unquestionably the most prominent lily in commerce. Widely-grown as a cut flower, it boasts garden-worthiness and container-worthiness as well. Late to emerge, it tends to withstand conditions which other Orientals cannot. The inflorescence is strongly upfacing and quite narrow and compact, which makes this variety especially suitable for certain purposes, especially small garden spaces and for floral design work. Naturally short, Stargazer is also desirable as a container lily, needing no growth regulators to suppress height. No staking is needed. Bulb size is 16-18 cm. Choose between 1 bulb or a 3-pack.

Tips and Growing Instructions
Visit our How-To Cultivation Library for more growing tips.
Many growers plant lily bulbs in the Fall. However, Spring is a great time for planting lilies. Lily “bulbs” are actually tubers composed of fleshy scales and lack a protective covering. Unlike true bulb flowers, they never go completely dormant and should be handled carefully since they loose moisture very quickly. Essentially, you can plant your new lilies anytime after the ground freezes in Spring.
Lilies are incredibly easy to grow and few garden pests trouble them. The most natural location for lilies is on sloping ground with excellent drainage. Lilies prefer to have their blooms in the sun and their roots in the shade. Try planting them among annuals or perennials that will keep their roots cool.
The general rule of thumb for planting spring bulbs is to plant two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. This means that some of our larger Bulb-Zilla lily bulbs will need to be planted 6-8 inches deeps. Plant with the roots downward and the scales upward. After planting, water well two or three times. Lilies are most effective when planted in groups of three or more. Space them about a foot apart – they will spread and fill this space in no time!
Always allow the leaves on the stalk to turn yellow and fall off as part of the lily’s natural growth process. This ensures that the bulbous underground part of the plant has gotten enough nourishment and will mean greater growth next year. Each year watch their beauty increase as they multiply!

Shipping
Sorry, we do not ship outside the U.S. or to Hawaii due to agricultural restrictions.
We guarantee safe arrival of healthy bulbs, that varieties will be true-to-name, and will grow if planted as instructed, subject to the limitations described in our Shipping and Returns Policy.
We begin shipping our bulbs in mid-February through Spring. Despite what you may have heard, Spring planting of bulbs is not a bad thing, and in fact, there are many advantages to planting in Spring. Visit our Spring Planting page to learn more. Upon arriving, your bulbs and most of your perennials may show signs of growth such as green leaves and sprouts - this is okay and transportation during this time should not harm the plants.
All bulbs and perennials should be planted in your garden as soon as possible to ensure the best success. If you must delay planting, open the bags to permit air circulation and place them out of direct sunlight in a cool, well-ventilated room. Do not place the bulbs where they can freeze. If you have the space, storing the bulbs in the refrigerator is another excellent way to “hold them” prior to planting. If you choose this method of storing your bulbs, be sure not to store fruit with them, as this is detrimental to bulbs.
Plant outdoors when the ground is no longer frozen and the conditions have improved for your zone.

” Not so long ago we were sure that such an amazing and beautiful reality must be way off in the ...
Format: Paperback
Eclectic Living?
How are you relating right now to Jesus? Did you see the “you” and the “right now?” We’re all different and in different places in our lives, also in the ways we turn to Jesus and trust him. The gospel of Jesus is rich and varied, with so many facets meeting us in our so multiple needs.
We have been thinking about our “union with Christ.” Not so long ago we were sure that such an amazing and beautiful reality must be way off in the future, at the end of the chain of our “way of salvation,” the ordo salutis. When we go to heaven without any remaining sin, then we’ll see how all Jesus has done for us comes together, that was how we used to think. Then John Murray and others began to show us how union isn’t at the far end but at the very beginning of new life in Jesus. That means that our forgiveness/justification and our godly growth/sanctification belong together, both gifts from the Jesus to whom we belong.
For people who know our theological history that could be alarming though. Wasn’t that what the Reformation 500 years ago was all about? Before, people thought that the main thing was to do the best you can, and then it could be maybe that God would answer that with forgiveness and blessing. But how can you tell when you’re doing enough? The more spiritually alert you were, the less sure. Then came Martin Luther and that breakthrough insight: yes the Lord is holy and you aren’t, but Jesus is! It’s his righteousness that he gives you, and now you can be confident that God is on your side, that when things go wrong it isn’t because he’s mad at you, but probably he’s giving you some kind of “fatherly chastisement.”
Isn’t that wonderful, that firm foundation of the Lord’s unfailing love for you! Being totally sure that what we so desperately need right now is right there in the gospel. Isn’t that all we’ll ever need? In some ways it is, but aren’t we still supposed to grow in our godliness? We’re called to love the Lord with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves—now that’s not easy, is it? Luther gave us a real start, but we have to add that now we give our hearts to respond to our Lord’s love with whole-hearted life-changing obedience, right? Lutherans tend to want to stick with #1, forgiveness, and we Reformed want the bigger package. But to do that means work, putting together the loving presence of your Jesus and doing those hard things in your life.
That’s the history, but where are we right now? Way back when I became a believer, it was about “what if you were to die tonight?” That is, in the next six hours how much change can you pull off? Not much, so dying tonight was totally about forgiveness. Back then there was also a lot of teaching about the end of the world and the suffering that would happen then. Most believed Jesus would take us out of that before it got too bad. Interesting, but what if we haven’t arrived yet at the end? So our combo of “tonight” and “sometime way off,” wasn’t much for “what if I have to get up tomorrow morning,” which so far is what life is about.
Sure, people became believers, and were decent afterwards. But did the Jesus gospel really have much to do with their lives? Even if they did their thing and read the Bible every day? Friend Rosemarie tells the world that I have “an eclectic fashion statement.” I really like my bright pink shirt and also my Navaho green bola—so I wear them together. If each is great, then together they have to be stunning, right? Well, they do leave people stunned, eclectically.
So here’s a remarkable Biblical doctrine, say justification, and here’s someone struggling with loneliness. Justification has to be the answer, right? Both are important, so don’t they have to fit? Bone up on justification and watch what happens: not much. Loneliness is a lot about not having a clue about relating to people, how does you forgiveness fit that? Eclectic?
John Leonard’s Get Real helps. When you’re getting to know a not-yet-believer, what do you talk about? Here’s John’s profound answer: it depends! It depends on what’s so hard for him, you learn that by Listening! Then you bring a piece of the gospel to him, one of the “many facets of the gospel!” That is, something out of your own hard life and how the Lord has been blessing you through it, from some part of what Jesus has done for you. I don’t believe John tells us how many facets there are, he’s still collecting them.
John is mostly about not-yets. Now comes David Powlison’s How Does Sanctification Work? He’s about “you, yourself and I.” What’s so hard for you right now? Where is that piece of the Bible that helps you understand and go on to live? Look hard for it, don’t be satisfied with eclectic. That’s going to take prayer and trust in Jesus. Jack Miller taught us to have prayer answered right away: Lord, show me my sin. Now add a David one: show me where I am and how Jesus is there for me. Justification may not be it, don’t look for a cure-all, see how the Lord came in the Bible to people with different lives and gave them exactly what they needed. Talk to other believers too.
I’m glad that biblical counseling came along, people and Bible together, Jay! I’m glad that urban ministry also arrived, now we can learn how to think like a missionary by going only a few miles: see how people different from you are blessed through the gospel in ways you never knew; Harvie! Manny! (Underneath all that comes from seeing the culture under the Bible, how it meets people in that mindset or mess or foolishness. Thank you Meredith Kline, Ray Dillard, Dan McCartney and Doug Green).
Can we count on preachers to model that for us: they know where their people are, don’t they? They can’t preach to fit all those needs at once, but wouldn’t it work to show the basic How? We all can do better with giving them feedback, right? Those liberals just about invented Eclectic, they could see some need and make up a story about it, not bothering with the Bible. We have to watch that we’re not doing Eclectic the other way around though, doing the Bible right and mumbling about how it works. That’s why the Lord has raised up those questioning millennials for us, making clear that what we’re doing so far isn’t much help.
As usual I’m better at spotting the problem than giving the answer. But at least I can give you the beginning: read David’s book!

Great Little Book
Format: Paperback
The title of this book purports to explain to us how sanctification works in the life of a believer. Most people, in American culture at least, will look at this title and expect something of a "how-to" book, filled with bullet points and flowcharts and methods. But Powlison surprises readers by not pinpointing one way of sanctification or one method of growth in holiness but providing instead a broad range of ways God works to grow us into Christlikeness. Powlison is at his best here: succinct, personal, practical and powerful.
This book is written as a counter to the "one way of sanctification" teaching we sometimes hear today. For example, some teach all we need to do to be sanctified is to focus on the gospel, rehearse it to ourselves, remember it. Others teach that sanctification comes through spiritual disciplines. But Powlison says there are a variety of ways God changes us and we need them all at different times.
Powlison's teaching about Truth Unbalanced and Rebalanced in chapter 3 is worth the price of the book alone. God blessed me through this book. Thank you David Powlison for sharing God's sanctifying work in your life with us.

Well Written
Format: Paperback
A personal account of the author’s suffering paired with other important experiences and Biblical truths. Theologically sound and a quick read. It was not what I was looking for but it was well written, nonetheless.

Wonderful Little Book
Format: Paperback
I actually really love this book. It's short and to the point which takes away a little bit of the theological clutter that you can find in a text book which does limit its content. However, the few points it addresses, lovingly points out incredible truth that we need to hear when helping others, and provides stories which demonstrates his point. The most important passage, in my opinion is,
"Ministry 'unbalances' truth for the sake of relevance; theology 'rebalances' truth for the sake of comprehensiveness." (pg.33)
Sometimes we want to help people with phrases like, "the lord gives and the lord takes away" or "rejoice always" which is a true fact but could be a dagger in the heart of someone who just lost a wife/husband/child and is breaking down. Either of those statements could calm someone with grief but could also cause anger and bitterness. Some truth can provide immense hope to those in need, but not all truths will help each person the same way and they might respond poorly in a situation of pain. We do a disservice when we assume that all people need the same answers in the same way.
