Tiger Lily source?

18 years ago

Hi - I think I'm the only person in my area of Dutchess County without tiger lilies somewhere on my property! I want the ones you see growing wild on the side of rural roads. I had them at my old house and am kicking myself for not remembering to take any when we moved. I have a hillside across my driveway that I'd like to 'naturalize', and I think clumps of tiger lilies would be great. Where can I get them?

I think you answered your own question-growing wild on the side of the road! Ask for permission to dig from the property owner.

Tiger lilies are bulbs (which have a lot of viruses these days). What you see on the roadsides are daylilies which grow from roots. I'm a teacher, so forgive me for jumping in to do what I naturally do. LOL.
