Lily lancifolium ‘Splendens’, otherwise known as a Tiger lily, displays deep amber orange blooms flecked with glossy black, like a Tiger’s coat. Gracefully nodding on wiry stems of up to 120cm, the recurved petals are swept backwards, creating interesting silhouettes amongst your borders. Despite its exotic, delicate appearance, ‘Splendens’ is remarkably robust, dependable, and hardy. Flowering between July and August, these prolific producers can yield up to 25 blooms per bulb once established, naturalising readily to form generous swathes. Tiger lilies also make wonderful, long-lasting cut flowers, lending a unique form and colour to your arrangements.

A profusion of perfumed, deep-rose blooms top the tall stems of Tiger lily ‘Pink Flight’ during July and August.

This charming lily makes a wonderful cut flower, adding elegant drama to seasonal arrangements and bouquets.  The flowers are long-lasting in the vase, just as they are in garden borders.

Grow as part of your perennial planting scheme in beds, or in large feature containers for an arresting sight through late summer.

One of the finest Tiger lily varieties available, ‘Sweet Surrender’ produces long, branching stems bearing exquisite, creamy-lemon blooms.

The chic flowers are lightly spotted with dark freckles and hold delicate arching stamens, giving an exotic look.  A great lily for cutting and adding to seasonal flower arrangements and large bouquets.

Plant as a grouping with swaying grasses and bee-friendly salvias or Agastache for a beautiful, late-summer border combination.
