Tiger lily?
Tiger lily is a common inhabitant of many older gardens throughout Texas and the South. It is reported to be a native of Korea, China, and Japan, where its bulbs have long been eaten for food. Its bright orange flowers speckled with dark spots are its easily recognized feature. The tiger lily begins growth in the spring, blooms in early summer, and then goes dormant for the fall and winter. It produces no seed but can be propagated by division during the fall or by planting the small bulbils (mini bulbs) that are produced in the axils of the leaves. These should be cared for as would other young seedlings.





All lilies prefer sun to part shade. Really hot sunny exposures often burn their foliage, while heavily shaded locations don't provide enough sun for food production. Lilies tend to fall over in shady locations as well. As a rule, most lilies prefer good, well drained, organic soils with adequate moisture. Most garden soils can be amended with peat moss and sand to meet these needs.





The ones in my garden bloom June-July. When they finish blooming, they stay green for a while, then slowly die down to rest for the fall and winter. They come up again in the spring. I hace a patch that has been here undisturbed for maybe 50 years, and they get about 5-7' tall, depending on the rainfall we get in their growing season.
