Lilium Tigrinum (lancifolium) is an heirloom favorite, quite properly known as the "Tiger Lily" of "Grandma's garden" fame. It has large unscented pendant orange flowers with black spots and recurved tips. It is a notoriously vigorous grower and naturalizes easily, producing a big crop of stem "bulblets" every year and aerial bulbils (resembling black beads thickly arranged along the stem).

Once they develop rootlets, these bulbils can be easily raised to blooming size, in fact will plant themselves if allowed to drop to the ground. If you seek a rapidly-propagating lily, this one's FOR YOU! In the Orient this species is raised for its edible bulbs (delicious in veggie stir-fry dishes. Very enduring and virus-resistant.

Species lilies, also known as Tiger Lilies, are wild lilies, native to North America, Europe, and Asia. Delicate and full of charm, there are 80 - 100 accredited Species. Most species lilies do not require specialized care and will naturalize themselves very well. They are very adaptable to most soil conditions and environmental conditions, and they do quite well in warm, moist climates with fertile soil. Tiger Lily bulbs for the most part are smaller than hybrid varieties, but will produce good quality stems and a lot of blooms. Their delicate, beautiful flowers are quite showy and most will bloom for long periods compared to other lilies.

Lilies are incredibly easy to grow and few garden pests trouble them. The most natural location for lilies is on sloping ground with excellent drainage. Lilies prefer to have their blooms in the sun and their roots in the shade. Try planting them among annuals or perennials that will keep their roots cool. 

The general rule of thumb for planting spring bulbs is to plant two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. This means that some of our larger Bulb-Zilla lily bulbs will need to be planted 6-8 inches deeps. Plant with the roots downward and the scales upward. After planting, water well two or three times. Lilies are most effective when planted in groups of three or more. Space them about a foot apart – they will spread and fill this space in no time! 

Always allow the leaves on the stalk to turn yellow and fall off as part of the lily’s natural growth process. This ensures that the bulbous underground part of the plant has gotten enough nourishment and will mean greater growth next year. Each year watch their beauty increase as they multiply! 


Shipping

Sorry, we do not ship outside the U.S. or to Hawaii due to agricultural restrictions.

We guarantee safe arrival of healthy bulbs, that varieties will be true-to-name, and will grow if planted as instructed, subject to the limitations described in our Shipping and Returns Policy.

We begin shipping our bulbs in mid-February through Spring. Despite what you may have heard, Spring planting of bulbs is not a bad thing, and in fact, there are many advantages to planting in Spring. Visit our Spring Planting page to learn more. Upon arriving, your bulbs and most of your perennials may show signs of growth such as green leaves and sprouts - this is okay and transportation during this time should not harm the plants.

All bulbs and perennials should be planted in your garden as soon as possible to ensure the best success. If you must delay planting, open the bags to permit air circulation and place them out of direct sunlight in a cool, well-ventilated room. Do not place the bulbs where they can freeze. If you have the space, storing the bulbs in the refrigerator is another excellent way to “hold them” prior to planting. If you choose this method of storing your bulbs, be sure not to store fruit with them, as this is detrimental to bulbs.

Plant outdoors when the ground is no longer frozen and the conditions have improved for your zone.

Item is plastic. Didn't unwrap because I was looking for glass solar pathway lights.
Size: 2 Pack
I didn't realize these were plastic. I wanted glass. The description said plastic but I didn't read that part of the description. I did not try them out to see how the light was so I can leave a review about that.

Bright
Very pleased with the light output from this solar light. Really shines a very large patch. I’v placed it in a area that needed some extra light so my security cameras can see a bit better overnight. This light did great. Anything in its area is easily identifiable. It went together fast and with full sunlight lasts till almost dawn. I’ll be getting a second so I have a matching pair. Four Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!

Love these solar lights
Why I chose to buy these expensive version of the solar lights: (1) 11 hours (hi setting light 80 lumen) to 18 hours (lo setting light 10 lumen) once fully charged by the solar. (2) The light emitted by the light bulbs are bright, and stay bright from dusk to dawn (3) Large battery capacity compared to competitors - 3.2 volts. (4) Bright bright bright - look like a real electricity powered light bulbs. (5) The morph solar panel is big, so it's able to absorb more solar power from every angles.

Quality all the way around
Size: 2 Pack
Build quality is excellent with both plastic an metal parts. Can't say how long they will last, but my Gamma Sonic solar pole light is still going after 5-6 years. I also have some Gamma Sonic solar spot lights still working after 3 years. Expensive but worth it in the long run.

Very happy with these. Have several now.
Have many of these now. Seems like GOOD quality and heavier than most. I love the square and that fact that you can have either soft warm light or cool light with just a switch. Solar seems strong enough too.
