Grow Hawaii

What kind of lilies can I grow in Hawaii? Will “Stargazer” lilies survive here?

On the Stargazer, here’s what I found:

“This plant is a pain to grow in the tropics. I think it needs to be chilled for a time in order to flower. This is based on the fact that I grew two, one which chilled in the fridge (veggie bin) for a month and the other one which I didn’t chill.

“Both plants were given the same soil (1/3 coir, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 compost) and grown in the same semi-shaded spot in the same type and size of container. I also put 2 Tbsp bone meal at the base of each bulb when planting.

“The unchilled lily never flowered. It grew to be more or less the same size as the chilled one, but no blooms.

“Since I’d rather not have to keep flower bulbs in my fridge, I don’t recommend this one for Hawaii. It did just fine for me in Northern California though, since they have a winter (avg low 40F).” http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1427/index.html

Lilies seem really to prefer Zones 3-8, and Hawaii appears to be in Zones 10a-11, which means that if you do choose to grow lilies, you are going to have to be quite careful to chill your bulbs in the winters for just the right amount of time in order to get the desired bloom. http://www.thelilygarden.com/pages_general/growing_lilies.html Guide for Growing Lilies

Have you considered Canna Lily, or Water Lily, or even a completely other plant, like the Gladiola (which I know for a fact will THRIVE there)? Consider your options…let me know if I can help more….and Happy Gardening!
