30+ Tiger Lilie bulbils, many already sprouting roots! Very easy to start!


Tiger lilies usually do not form seeds outside of their native range.

These plants can be propagated from the bulbils forming against the stem at the leaf axils.

Bulbils are not seeds, but are a clone of the plant like a division or a cutting, and will grow true to the plant.

Bulbils do not keep well indoors and will usually dry up or rot.

Bulbils must be planted in outdoor pots or in the ground where the plants are to grow.

Bulbils begin growing roots now and through the fall, remain dormant through the winter, then sprout foliage in the spring, usually one leaf the first year. Three or four years may pass before you get a plant of size sufficient to produce blooms.
"The plant is easily propagated by means of bulbils that form in the leaf axils. Simply pot these up in the summer when they part easily from the plant and then plant them out in the spring 18 months later. Allow some of the bulbils to fall to the ground to see of the plant will maintain itself without your help."

"Some Tiger lilies form aerial bulbs (bulbils) in the axils of leaves. These tiny bulbs are identical to the mother plant, so they are an example of asexual propagation.

Bulbils are harvested by breaking them free of the mother plant and planting them like seeds. They are allowed to grow on until they reach a diameter suitable for flowering. "
