Tigrinum splendens Tiger Lily

This beautiful orange lily is covered with black speckles and reminds us of days gone by. They are classic flowers made new again because of their easy growing nature.

Who can resist the old fashioned appeal of Tiger Lilies? Their petals roll delicately backwards giving them a very unique look. Tiger Lilies also have a multitude of dark purple spots that give them an exotic tiger-skin look. They are very hardy but dislike dry, hot situations, so we suggest planting them in sun or partial shade where they will also be protected from strong winds. Plant them in a rather heavy soil with an ample supply of humus and good drainage. Remove faded flowers and do not cut back stems until autumn. Bulbs should not be lifted but left in the soil to bloom annually for many years.
