Product Description
A vibrant new introduction to the range of Tiger Lilies, Tiger Babies will produce delightful orange flowers, smothered in small spots that we come to expect from Tiger varieties. The name Tiger refers to the spots inside the petals. This Lilium will grow on firm stems rising to 120cm. They are ideal as part of a border and if planted deep enough can be left there as they will naturalise easily to flower again the following year. Flowering from late July through to early September. 14/16cm bulbs supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Lily bulbs will greatly appreciate the shelter of low growing shrubs or other plants near their roots. In active growth, apply water freely a high potash liquid fertilizer every two weeks or so. When planting, each bulb should surrounded with a little sharp sand both under and above the bulb to keep slugs away and to ward off excessive wetness. As most lilies are stem rooting, we strongly recommend you plant about 15cm deep. They give a much better display when planted in clumps of 3, 6 or 12 bulbs, spaced 45cm apart. Plant from December to April to see them appear in summer.
