Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Giant Lancifolium Tiger Lily Bulbs is straightforward, ensuring a spectacular display of spotted lily blooms. Proper planting and ongoing care will lead to robust growth and abundant flowering. Plant these spring planting bulbs in an area that receives full sun to partial shade. Full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight per day) will encourage the most prolific blooming, but they can tolerate some afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates. Ensure the soil is well-drained, as lilies do not like to sit in soggy conditions, which can lead to bulb rot. A slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal.

When planting, dig a hole approximately 6-8 inches deep and place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards. Space bulbs about 8-12 inches apart to allow for mature growth. Water thoroughly after planting. During the growing season, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize annually in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer or a specific bulb food to encourage strong growth and impressive orange tiger lily flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to redirect the plant’s energy into bulb development rather than seed production. These hardy lily bulbs are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but monitor for aphids or lily beetles and treat as necessary. In colder zones, a layer of mulch in winter can provide extra protection.
