Tiger Lily (Lilium lancifolium): Classic Spotted Orange Beauty

Tiger Lily (Lilium lancifolium, syn. L. tigrinum) is a beloved, easy-to-grow lily species bearing numerous nodding, orange flowers heavily spotted with dark purple-black. Its tall stems are lined with whorls of lance-shaped leaves and produce bulbils (tiny bulbs) in leaf axils. A vigorous perennial that naturalizes readily, it blooms in mid-to-late summer and makes excellent cut flowers.
