Know before you buy
Yes, the 'Double Tiger' lily is designed to bloom in its first year, so you won't have to wait multiple seasons to enjoy the flowers.
You should plant these bulbs 6 to 8 inches apart. This spacing provides enough room for the plants to grow to their full height while maintaining proper airflow.
Yes, this variety is considered deer-resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, these lilies are generally avoided by deer in most garden settings.
They perform best in full sun, but they can also tolerate partial shade. Ensure they are planted in well-drained, loamy soil to prevent the bulbs from rotting.
These lilies are quite impressive, reaching a mature height of up to 6 feet. Because of their height, they work well at the back of a garden border.
Absolutely. Their long, sturdy stems and unique double blooms make them an excellent choice for cut flowers that last well in a vase.
