Tiger Lily Bulbil Planting: Cold Treatment and Pot Start

Growing Tiger Lilies from Leaf-Axil Bulbils

1. Bulbils (not true seeds) benefit from 30-day fridge stratification in damp paper towel.
2. Plant 1 inch deep in pots after chill.
3. Roots appear first; leaves follow in months.
4. Start indoors late December for April transplant.
5. Multiple bulbils per pot OK; separate later.
6. Year 1: foliage only; blooms year 2+.

Bulbils are clones; true seeds (in pods) also need cold stratification.
