tiger lily seeds bulbils TIGER LILY ~FLORE PLENO~ FLOWER BULBS HARDY 3-5 FT. TALL PERENNIAL PLANTS UNIQUE

Lilium lancifolium ‘Flore Pleno’ has stunning double flowers of bright orange with dark speckles. The blooms are outfacing and scentless with recurved petals in mid to late summer. The stems stand 3 to 5 feet and each stem may bear as many as 20 or 30 blooms of 3 to 6 inches each. The flowers are sterile producing no seed and no pollen, but the plant produces multiple bulbils in the leaf axils which can produce flowers 2 years after they are collected. Lilium lancifolium, from which Flore Pleno is derived, is native to Guam, China, Korea and Japan. The grace and beauty of this lily makes it a lovely addition to the garden. Lilies love full sun but will do well in partial shade. They tolerate hot summer days, as long as the bulbs are deep enough to remain cool. Lower plants surrounding the lilies will help protect their roots from drying out. Lilies make an excellent cut flower with long lasting blooms and buds that continue to mature and open after cutting.
