The Double Tiger Lily

Every year we watch our tiger lilies with delight as they shoot out of the ground in early summer. We're looking forward to the striking blooms, but perhaps even more we're looking forward to the butterflies they attract. We now plant fennel with our tiger lilies, because as soon as the eastern swallowtails butterflies leave the tiger lilies, they head straight to the fennel and lay their eggs. For the following weeks, we watch with the delight as the eggs hatch and the caterpillars grow plumper and larger. It happens so fast, it is almost magical. Not long after that, we have a garden full of even more swallowtails! We enjoy this with single AND with double tiger lilies.

Bursting with bold color and intricate petals, the Double Tiger Lily (Lilium lancifolium 'Flore Pleno') is a striking addition to any garden. Unlike traditional tiger lilies, this variety boasts layers of ruffled orange petals splashed with deep maroon spots, creating a full, eye-catching bloom. Its strong stems and tall growth habit make it perfect for borders, cutting gardens, or focal points. Hardy and easy to grow, the Double Tiger Lily thrives in full sun to partial shade and returns year after year with minimal care.

A Story of Sharing and Connection: The Tiger Lily's Journey

One stand I found was in northeast Texas. As I drove by, I saw tiger lilies surrounding every tree at this old home. I knocked on the door and an older lady and her physically fit, middle-aged son answered. I explained what we do at the Southern Bulb Company, and the son said he would gladly share the black bulbils, (the tiny bulbs from which you can eventually grow a full sized tiger lily plant).

The gentleman, who told me he had served our country in the Army's Special Forces, walked around with me and explained his unsuccessful experience in trying to save the bulbils. Apparently, he found, they do not like to be stacked and left in a coffee can in the garage. "You can't treat them like seeds," he told me. "They'll rot on ya!" I could tell that horticulture had become his passion, and I promised him I'd plant them right away.

I thanked him, both for his military service and for his horticultural service.

Planting and Care for Your Tiger Lilies

Tiger lilies prefer a woodland setting with acidic soil and afternoon shade during their summer blooming season

Planting Time: Plant as soon as you receive the bulbs. If delayed, store them in the refrigerator.
Planting Location: Choose a spot with about 8 hours of summer sun and well-drained soil. Don't plant during a hard freeze.
Planting Depth: Plant bulbs 2-3 times their height deep (e.g., a 2-inch bulb should be planted 4-5 inches deep).
Watering: Provide ample water as their foliage begins to appear in March and April.

Tiger Lily Multiplication: A Gardener's Delight

Once the blooms are coming to an end, knock off the bulbils and gently scratch them into the soil. With rich organic soil and some moisture, you'll have a stand of Tiger Lilies in just a few years

Attracting Pollinators and Enhancing Your Garden

Tiger lilies are a magnet for pollinators like hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, adding life and movement to your garden. Combine them with companion plants for year-round interest:

Companion Plants: Salvias, Lantanas, Plumbago, Phlox, Alyssum, Snapdragons, Pansies, Cyclamen, Paperwhites, Narcissus, Iris, Snowflakes, Rain Lilies, Crinums, and Hymenocallis.

pricey but worth it
I just happened to check reviews on this and saw a couple negatives. I don't doubt that they have had some issue with the solar panels but that's not been my experience. I've purchased 6 over the span of a year and a half from various merchants including amazon. Gama Sonic is pricey in general, yet I've found I can rely on the quality of the brand. I have other models as well. This particular is one of my favorites because of the versatility in placement, whether staked in the ground or in a pipe or fence for a higher mount. The hook is solid as is the stake itself. The brightness is great as long as you understand what you're getting in lumens and it meets the specs for your purpose. My first 2 have now passed the 2 year mark and going strong. Of course, there's not much sun during the Jersey winter so they don't have the juice to last long but for 8-9 months of the year they burn all night. I anticipate having to replace the battery next season at some point. 3 year life is fine for me. Bulb is supposed to last 10 years. Not sure I'll be around to update. I also appreciate that if you have slim enough hands, you can access the on off switch from underneath for those times you don't want it or wish to change the brightness. The solar panel design is also very functional with a somewhat stylish look. Personal taste on that one I guess but it does soak up the rays. Like I said, pleased enough to go back twice more.

Quick replacement for defective one
I really love these lights; they consistently stay on all night on most nights given that I live in a state with lots of cloudy days and it is winter. That is a huge plus. I did have one that was defective and I received a replacement very quickly and was able to charge it up in the sun and it works very well. In some of them I have noticed condensation (in ones that I purchased about 6 months ago) but for now they work flawlessly. You really need to be aware of the level of sunlight to use solar lights effectively and for those areas that there isn't enough you need to accept the limitations or install low voltage lights for supplemental light in those areas. These are my favorite and most reliable solar path lights and I will continue to buy more of them. Amazon readily accepted by return and from my return to new light was only a couple of days, which I found was impressive and appreciated!

Fantastic, until they were not.
Expensive, but very nice and very effective solar lights. Definitely were brighter and stayed on longer than most. however, 5 months later they have all but stopped working. Majority of the solar panels look like they are damaged, but I've no idea how they got damaged. I'll post some pictures of what they look like, but its like they were damaged by water or something; which obviously they should not be!

Love this Brand!
Bought a lamp post a few years back by this brand and absolutely love it. No need to run electric wires and the light looks no different. Bright all night long with a regular looking light bulb. Looked up this brand again to purchase some lawn stakes. Has the same brightness as a regular light bulb and will last much longer than traditional solar lawn stakes. Very happy with the purchase!

Item is plastic. Didn't unwrap because I was looking for glass solar pathway lights.
Size: 2 Pack
I didn't realize these were plastic. I wanted glass. The description said plastic but I didn't read that part of the description. I did not try them out to see how the light was so I can leave a review about that.
