Peridot Stargazer Lily

Bred to face the sky. We made it peridot.

Regular price $34.65

The peridot Stargazer Lily faces upward. This is what stargazer lilies do — the cultivar was bred in the 1970s specifically to face the sky rather than drooping toward the ground like most Oriental lilies. Someone in our studio decided this was ambition. We have been thinking about whether they were right for longer than is strictly reasonable. The Stargazer Lily The Stargazer was bred by a hybridizer named Leslie Woodriff who wanted a lily that faced upward because he was tired of lilies that faced the ground. He called his creation Stargazer because it looked at the sky.

How to hang & display

Wall hanging

Works on drywall, plaster, or wood panelling. Drive a small screw at a slight upward angle, leaving the head proud of the wall. Slide the keyhole slot on the back over the screw head, adjust to level. Sits flush — no visible hardware.

No stud? No problem. A drywall anchor rated for the weight works fine.

Displaying a collection

Lay everything out on the floor first. Start with your anchor piece, build outward. Keep 2–3 inches between each piece and aim for the centre of the whole arrangement to land around eye level. Use painter's tape on the wall to map positions before committing to any screws.

Table & shelf display: Equally beautiful propped on a shelf, mantle, or side table. Pair with books, candles, or a small pot.

The lily that faces upward and has always faced upward

The peridot Stargazer Lily faces upward. This is what stargazer lilies do — the cultivar was bred in the 1970s specifically to face the sky rather than drooping toward the ground like most Oriental lilies, which we find both admirable and, in peridot, completely correct.

This is the thing about a stargazer lily made ceramic: it continues to face upward. This is now permanent. We made it peridot because peridot is the color of something that has decided to look at the sun and has excellent reasons. The upward position has been decided. We support this.

Cottagecore decor that faces the right direction

Cottagecore decor is built around the idea that nature has made its way inside and settled in without being asked. The Peridot Stargazer Lily settles in. It is a lily that faces upward — bred to look at the sky — in peridot green, which is the color of a garden that has been growing without interference. On a wall it brings both the botanical fact and the color of something that has decided to stay.

It works with dried flowers, botanical prints, natural linen, and the other garden-adjacent objects of a cottagecore room. It does not try to be cottagecore. It is a stargazer lily. Cottagecore rooms find it immediately correct and make room for it. The upward position works as well on a wall as it does in a garden.

How to Hang Ceramic Flowers?

In 60 seconds or less

One discovers these flowers, each bearing a secret: a tiny keyhole nestled in the back, waiting for its destiny. The ritual feels almost predetermined - reaching into that dusty jar of orphaned screws, the ones squirreled away over countless home projects. Those odd bits of metal, collected like precious coins, finally finding their purpose. A quick twist of the drill, and there hangs beauty, supported by hardware whose previous life remains a mystery.

Frequently asked questions

How do I hang a ceramic wall flower using command strips or screws?

The peridot Stargazer Lily hangs with a keyhole slot on the back — one screw into the wall, ceramic lily onto the screw, done in ninety seconds. We recommend a screw over command strips for a ceramic piece of this weight; a standard drywall screw into a stud or with an anchor is the right approach. The keyhole is precision-designed for this. It works.

What does a lily flower mean?

A hostess gift that isn't wine or flowers that will die in a week is a ceramic wall flower in branded packaging that hangs on the wall of the home you're being welcomed into. The peridot Stargazer Lily arrives ready to give, hangs in ninety seconds, and is the kind of thing someone puts up the same afternoon and points out to every subsequent guest. It is a gift that keeps making the case for you long after the visit.

What is a thoughtful hostess gift?

Lily flower meaning varies by color and tradition but the lily as a category represents purity, renewal, and the particular kind of beauty that announces itself openly rather than waiting to be discovered. The Stargazer cultivar specifically carries associations with ambition and aspiration — it was bred to face upward, it does, and flower language took this literally. Peridot green lilies, specifically, carry the additional association of growth and the kind of vitality that is understated about itself.

What is a unique gift for mom?

Peridot green in an entryway works because it reads as welcoming — warm enough to feel like an arrival, distinctive enough to be noticed immediately, the first thing someone sees when they come through the door. The Stargazer Lily's upward-facing form works particularly well in a vertical space because it looks like it belongs on a wall rather than in it.

Does peridot green work in entryway wall decor?

A unique gift for mom is one that acknowledges she has everything she needs and deserves something interesting rather than something useful. The peridot Stargazer Lily is ceramic, from a studio whose work is in museum shops and gallery stores on multiple continents, and it arrives in branded packaging ready to give. It is a gift with a point of view. That is the right gift for someone with one.

Does the Stargazer Lily fit cottagecore decor?

Cottagecore decor is about the romantic version of nature — flowers, textures, the feeling that something beautiful grew there on purpose. The peridot Stargazer Lily is ceramic but it reads as botanical in the way that cottagecore intends. It belongs in a room with linen, warm wood, botanical prints, and the distinct impression that whoever lives there has thought carefully about how light comes in.

Does it come in a gift box?

Yes. The peridot Stargazer Lily ships in branded Chive packaging — box and tissue — ready to give. No additional wrapping required. The packaging is part of the gift.

Has the Peridot Stargazer Lily formed an opinion about whether facing upward constitutes ambition, aspiration, optimism, or just a horticultural design decision from the 1970s?

The peridot Stargazer Lily has maintained a principled silence on this for its entire production run and we have concluded this is a sophisticated position. The original Stargazer was named by its creator for looking at the sky. The ceramic one hangs on a wall and looks at the room. Whether this constitutes ambition, reorientation, or just sensible adaptation to new circumstances — the lily is not saying and we have stopped asking.
