Plant lily bulbs within one to two weeks of delivery, as they dislike drying out. Until planting, keep them somewhere cool, dry and frost-free.
'Tiger Babies'
Delightfully dotty and incredibly beautiful, Lily 'Tiger Babies' flaunts a showy display of blooms every bit as adorable as any feline cub. Versatile and trendy apricot-hued flowers sit comfortably in any colour scheme, and these blooms with pretty reflexed peachy petals are up there with the most opulent of them all. With uniform looks along with an artwork of tiny purple markings and tidy fluted stamens, this exotic-looking beauty is really a must have for any summer garden!
The compact Lily 'Tiger Babies' is perfect for the patio as well as for growing in the border. Plant them in groups for a full and fabulous show of flowers which just keep on coming throughout early to mid-summer. One thing’s for sure, you simply won’t be able to get enough of these sweet blooms. Plant plenty and you’ll have some to spare to snip and enjoy in your home too!

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade with rich, well-drained soil. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose or soil-based compost with added horticultural grit.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, 15–20cm deep and 15–20cm apart. Arrange them in groups of three to five for a generous, natural-looking display.
Water after planting, then keep the soil evenly moist once growth appears. Avoid waterlogging, particularly while the bulbs are dormant, and never let containers dry out completely.
Add stakes when planting taller varieties to avoid damaging the bulbs later. Remove faded flowers, but allow stems and foliage to yellow naturally before cutting them back.
