Tiger Flower (Tigridia pavonia), also called Mexican Shell Flower, produces stunning, large, tri-petaled flowers in vibrant combinations of red, orange, yellow, pink, or white — each dramatically spotted and patterned at the center like a tiger's coat. Each bloom lasts only one day, but plants produce a succession over weeks in summer. A tender bulb best grown in containers or lifted in cold climates.
