Product Description
Tigridia are eye-catching summer-flowering bulbs that bring a touch of the exotic to any garden. This mixed selection offers a vibrant display of richly coloured flowers, each lasting just a day but quickly replaced by new blooms throughout the flowering period. The bold markings at the centre of each flower give rise to their common name, Tiger Flower.
Growing to around 50cm tall, Tigridia are ideal for planting at the front or middle of borders, as well as in patio containers where their intricate flowers can be admired up close. They perform best in warm, sunny positions and reward gardeners with repeated blooms once established.
Although tender, Tigridia are easy to grow with a little seasonal care. Lift and store the bulbs over winter, and they will return year after year with fresh summer colour.
