My neighbor down the street gave me what he told me were "tiger lily" seeds (lilium lancifolium). The plant is maybe 2-3' tall, with deep orange sharply recurved lilies with spots on them. It's not what I typically call a tiger lily, which is the orange North American daylily-esque "ditch lily." Since these develop the "seeds" at the base of the leaf, there seem to be quite a few on the plants. How invasive is this plant? My neighbor has his next to a concrete walkway, so much of the "seed" never propagates. I was thinking of putting them in the backyard bed, but not if I'll shortly be overrun. The USDA website lists it as an invasive or noxious weed, but then again they list bleeding heart, honesty, rose campion, and maltese cross, to name a few plants in my garden without problems.
They do multiply but I don't find them invasive. They are easy enough to pull out early spring if you don't want all that you have. I love how stately they look . Kareen
What YOU are used to calling tiger lilies are a wild daylily that is native to N.E.N.America. Those are very invasive and grow evrywhere. I believe the correct name is FULVA LILY. What your neighbor gave you is a turks caps Lily. You may remove the baby BULBILS when you see a small root and one leaf on them and replant them. They will be full size the 3rd spring. They are not invasive. Mine usually reseed some on their own.
