'Double Tiger' Tiger Lily brings a bold splash of color and charm to any garden. This cherished heirloom blooms in midsummer, showcasing double-layered flowers with vivid orange petals dotted with dark speckles. Growing 60 to 72 inches tall, these lilies feature strong, upright stems lined with strappy, dark green leaves. Ideal for cutting gardens, their striking blooms make long-lasting additions to bouquets and mixed arrangements.

A hardy perennial, Lilium lancifolium 'Flore Pleno' thrives in Zones 3-8, reliably blooming year after year when bulbs are left in the ground through winter. Their upright habit makes them perfect for group plantings in beds, borders, containers, and patio pots. When harvesting, leave at least 2/3 of the stem intact to ensure the bulb has enough foliage to rejuvenate for the following season.

'Double Tiger' lilies flourish in full sun (6-8 hours) but can tolerate partial shade. To protect their roots from heat, apply mulch and plant alongside low-growing companions for additional shade at the base. These lilies thrive in rich, well-drained soils with consistent moisture but adapt to average garden conditions. Avoid overwatering or letting the soil dry out completely to protect the bulbs. Deadhead faded flowers promptly to encourage new blooms, but only remove foliage after it turns yellow. These lilies are a low-maintenance, high-impact choice for any garden.

Plant bulbs in early spring, spacing them 6-8 inches apart and burying them 6-8 inches deep. With minimal care, 'Double Tiger' lilies will brighten your garden with vibrant blooms every summer.
