Lilies are one of the truly great garden plants, as they are beloved by gardeners everywhere. Their beauty, diversity, extended season of bloom, graceful stature and overall reliable disposition reflect the fruits of hundreds of years of selective breeding. In Chinese, the word Lily means forever in love. The lilium family is so large, varied and complex that it is challenging to describe them in short. Lilies are deer and critter resistant. Plant just about anywhere - borders, beds, cutting gardens, perennial gardens, pots and containers. These exotic looking lilies add a focal point in your garden. Their appearance reminds 1 of the skin of a tiger, hence their being better known by their common name. They are native to China and Japan, are very decorative, unscented, down ward facing and prolific producing 10 to 12 blooms per stem. They will multiply to form clumps over the years growing larger and more beautiful with each passing year.
