Description
12-18" tall. Tiger Flowers (also known as Mexican Shell Flowers) are native to Mexico and Guatemala. As their botanic name Tigridia (meaning “tiger-like”) suggests, they will bring a rainbow of bright color to your mid-to late summer garden. Tiger Flowers are 3-6 inches wide with three single-color petals radiating alongside smaller patterned petals. The shell or tiger-patterned center contrasts with the simple petals creating a dramatic presence in the flowerbed. The foliage is pleated adding an extra dimension of interest. Hardy in zones 8-10, plant as annuals in cooler areas.
Plant Tiger Flower bulbs in the spring in a sunny, warm location. Growing to 12-18 inches tall, plant groupings throughout your perennial bed for maximum effect. Tigridia’s flowers last just one day, similar to a day lily, but its continuous parade of blooms will keep you in color for several weeks.

Days filled with blooms
"Unusual striking flowers, large eye-catching blooms. Passer-by's stop to ask about them. One downside is that they tend to flop over (as mentioned on the HCG web site), so best in large containers, or tucked in with other plants in border. But the blooms still find a way t peek out and get noticed. These have been blooming for several weeks, and there's been no sign of diminishing blooms. #sweepstakes"
Exotic, but easy to grow
"Unusual exotic flowers. Not sure how many flowers will appear from each plant, but the 25 I planted are appearing one a day, so there will be plenty of days of blooms. And the bees love them. #sweepstakes"
Wonderful
"Very beautiful Only last 24 hours Deer will eat buds Second year I've grown them Always very pleased"
Lovely flowers for daytime
"These flowers are spectacular. However if you work 9-5 like I do you will only see the blooms on weekends"
Stunning flowers, but only a few of the bulbs grew
"Hoping for a better showing next year. I plan to buy another pack - I think these flowers are amazing."
I am getting more this year…. 🤗👍
"Love them!"
These Tigridia flowers were breathtakingly beautiful!
"These Tigridia flowers are beautiful in a flower bed. The flowers doesn't last that long and some don't come back after a harsh winter."
These are such gorgeous blooms!
"I discovered these flowers on a walk in my neighborhood a few summers ago and finally saw the homeowner one day and asked him what they were called. . . Tigridia, I had to have them! I searched online and found them available on your website. I ordered them last fall in October, the 25 bulbs arrived, most of them good size, in March and I planted them in 3 different pots in April. They came up in late July and have bloomed ever since! Each flower is stunning, I wish they lasted longer than just one day! Our winters here in western WA are fairly mild, zone 7b, so I'm hoping the bulbs will be ok in the pots over the winter as I look forward to more blooms next summer!"
Great quality bulbs and beautiful flowers
"This is one of my favorite flowers, remember having them in the yard when I was a kid. My mom called them one-day flowers. This selection had all the beautiful colors and bloomed great this year, despite moving the containers from a coastal to inland valley climate in June. I'm very pleased with the performance and quality of the bulbs/plants. They grew so well we will be dividing them and spreading to more containers. I did find at our old house that the varmints liked to eat the bulbs but they do very well in large pots."
Healthy bulbs Good Mix of Colors
"The Mix is truly a mix. The bulbs have grown well and bloomed. There are red, white, yellow, pink, a good mixture of all the colors. There seem to be an even amount of each. There were more bulbs than listed. I didn't count them but there was a very generous handful or two. I am very pleased with High Country Garden. Very Satisfied Customer!"
