it is orange with black spots and petals that turn under.it also gets taller every year.
Does anyone know anythong about tiger lily?
It reseeds itself every year from bulbils that form on they leaves, and it reemerges in the spring.
Not sure what else you would like to know
Reply:Also, If you live in an area where the ground freezes in the winter you need to dig the bulbs up and store them in a cool, dry place until spring. Freezing will kill them.
Reply:Tiger lilies reproduce by seed, by small black bulbs that actually grown along the stem, and by bulbs underground.
They are a pretty flower that looks good when planted in a bunch by other lilies or perennials. Mine always bloomed when my daylilies bloomed.
I have found them to be very tough plants.
One thing I like about them is that you can plant them in small, confined places (narrow gardens) where other plants might not flourish. One can also plant annuals around them and it won%26#039;t harm them.
Reply:I live in Missouri we never dig them up for winter. They grow wild here!
You could plant seeds, but propogation is usually thru rhizomes and they spread and multiply rapidly.
I grow all types of lillies.
Reply:I had tiger lilies for over 40 years. Mine are also orange. I live in SD (zone 4). Throw bunch leaves on them in fall %26amp; sprape off the dead leaves in spring. They reproduce by creating additional bulbs along the viney root system. After a couple of years they should be so thick, they will choke out weeds, too. Very little maintenance and very hardy. Some people have mowed over them in the fall; I prefer to leave their long dead leaves as additional winter cover. Lilies are the first to sprout in the spring. Blooms on a stalk 2%26#039; taller than plant. Bloom around end of June to mid July with short lived blooms. Greenery nice Spring to Fall to add color near house base, etc...
