Asiatic Downfacing Lily
Lilium ‘Tiger Babies’ are a salmon-peach color, heavily spotted, and lightly fragrant. The flowers are downfacing and bell shaped with recurved petals that have a chocolate pink stripe on the reverse side. The stems stand 3 to 4 feet tall, each bearing 12 to 20 blooms in mid summer. Tiger Babies is an Asiatic hybrid. Asiatic hybrids are the easiest lilies to grow, are quite winter hardy, and reproduce readily. They generally bloom earlier than other lilies and will have a higher bud count on a straight stem. Typically they are not fragrant.

Typically they are not fragrant. The grace and beauty of this lily make it a lovely addition to the garden. Lilies love full sun but will do well in partial shade. They tolerate hot summer days, as long as the bulbs are deep enough to remain cool. Lower plants surrounding the lilies will help protect their roots from drying out. As a lily becomes more established, it will produce more blooms on higher stems. Lilies make an excellent cut flower with long-lasting blooms and buds that continue to mature and open after cutting.
