How thick is the main stalk? If they are not as thick as a pencil they probably will not flower, if they are thicker than a pencil they probably will flower. But, I'm only one zone south of you, all the lilies in this area are blooming already, so the ones in your area should have buds already if they're going to make any, I would think.

Yes the stalk on my Tiger Lilies are as think as a pencil on the taller ones. I noticed today too that they are forming the Bulbils on them too. Do you think that means the bigger ones should flower?
My other Lilies, Day Lilies and Asiatic Lilies, are blooming already too.

It's quite possible you'll get a bud (bloom) or two by the third year... but don't expect the full candelabrum you'll see in the seasons from now on. The little bulbils you see forming (even though small) will drop naturally and produce more plants for you, too.

Here in zone 4, the tigers start blooming toward the end of July and can last through September. I don't think I've ever taken note when the buds actually start forming.

I don't think I've ever had a plant that so many people see and want. Have never seen them for sale in nurseries or garden centers - perhaps a few mail order outfits carry them. Must be something people remember from their Grandmother's gardens. I wouldn't be without them - and I have literally hundreds scattered throughout the gardens.

Thank you!

We have had tiger lillies in our garden for about 7 years now. We have NOT seen a flower on them for the last year.
What do we have to do to get them flowering again? Do they
need sun 6 hours a day and maybe they are too crowded?
We have never divided them yet but plan to do so this year
if they will flower. Please advise as they flowers seem
to be less and less each year. we live in Sheboygan Wisconsin. I believe zone 4

It's possible they are over-crowded. Try dividing this fall and see if it helps.
