 Growing to 4 feet tall and bearing multiple flowers, the tiger lily gets its name for its orange colored flowers marked with black. A natural hybrid, the tiger lily forms bulbils in the axils of its leaves (sterile triploid). Where the madonna lily does well in alkaline soil, the tiger lily prefers acidic soil. Locate in full sun with protection from hot afternoon sun so that flowers last longer. |

 Lilium is a large genus in the Liliaceae family. More than 100 species are found in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. There are thousands of cultivars as well. The majority of lilies are easy to grow, basic location being heads in the sun and feet in the shade. Good drainage is essential. With the exception of L. candidum, they should be planted twice as deep as the height of the bulb. L. candidum should be barely covered with soil and is best planted in late summer. The colors of pastel shades are best with a little shade so they do not lose their color in the sun. |
