Tiger Lily For Sale
Tiger Lily Plants are perennial and super popular due to their exotic upside-down blooms. They have showy flowers that stand tall atop a leggy and leafy stem, reaching 6 feet. Their leaves are rich green in color and produce a glossy sheen while basking in the sun. The flowers emerge as a rich orange with dark brown spots across the petal surface. Their flowers are not only visually beautiful and vibrant, but their texture is thick, supple, and silky, another sensory experience to enjoy. They will be a dazzling addition to your garden.
While originating from China, the Russian Far East, and Korea, the tiger lily (Lilium Lancifolium) has become a favorite among North American gardeners. It is regularly found neatly organized within a garden or as an escapee on road sides across the USA.

These bold perennials grow well in containers and in the garden, making them a versatile option for plant lovers regardless of their living situation. Their robust stems and showy flowers make them ideal cut flowers to add to your perennial bouquet.
Landscape Uses and Maintenance
They prefer moist, well-drained soil. While thriving in full sun, they struggle in dry conditions, so water them regularly. That being said, tiger lilies are highly disease-resistant, making them a great option for beginner gardeners.
Tiger Lilies are best planted in groups of three bulbs in the spring or fall. Grouping them will ensure a dense and impressive display once in bloom. You can consider staking for support if you want them to maintain their upright nature without toppling later in the growth cycle. However, lilies are stem-rotting, and once they fall over, they will continue to grow with a reinvigorated root system wherever their stem touches the ground.
Noteworthy Characteristics
Attractive to pollinators, large orange flowers, and easy to grow. Adding Tiger Lily plants to your garden will make you, and all the pollinators, look forward to the spring. Shop for Tiger Lily plants online at TN Nursery.
Customer Reviews
I love how resilient these Tiger Lilies are—they thrived in my slightly shady patch. Just a quick mulch in winter, and they return beautifully.
These Tiger Lilies delivered exactly what I hoped for—tall, bright blooms that repeat each year with little intervention. A reliable staple for any border.
Planted them in spring and by mid-summer they began to bloom richly. The spotted petals are eye-catching, and cleanup was simple afterward.
The flowers themselves were gorgeous, but several bulbs had scraped scales from tight packaging. They recovered, but I expected gentler treatment.
As a new gardener, I appreciate how hardy these lilies are. That said, it took over a month before I saw any growth, which felt slow. Still rooting for them.

How To Grow
How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Perennials, Tubers, and Bulbs
Bare root perennials, tubers, and bulbs are an easy and economical way to jumpstart your garden with lasting beauty. These dormant plants should be planted in early spring or fall while the soil is cool and workable. Before planting, soak bare roots in water for 1–2 hours to rehydrate them. Choose a location based on the plant’s light needs—most flowering types prefer full sun, while others thrive in partial shade.
For bare root perennials, dig a shallow hole and spread the roots out naturally, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. For tubers and bulbs, plant with the pointed side facing up at a depth about two to three times their height. Cover with soil, gently press down, and water thoroughly.
Keep soil consistently moist (not soggy) until new growth appears. Add mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid covering the crown or bulb tops. Once established, these plants require little maintenance—just seasonal watering, occasional dividing, and deadheading or pruning as needed. With proper care, they’ll return and thrive year after year.
