Paul M on Mar 31, 2012Pinched back? I think if you want them to bloom you should just leave them alone. I have never heard of pruning any type of lily, ever.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Mar 31, 2012Actually, Pat, pinching them back would be a very good way to ensure you don't get a a single bloom from your Stargazer. Bulb-type plants, of which lilies are one, do not respond in this manner. You will end up having no blooms whatsoever if stems are pinched or topped.Helpful Reply
