Notes

Tiger flower (Tigridia pavonia) is a bulb for borders, containers, and cut flowers. Its pink, red, orange, yellow, or white blooms measure 10 to 15 cm across. They are often spotted or blotched with darker colors. The outer petal-like segments are 7 to 10 cm long, and the inner segments are much shorter. The stems can reach 1.5 m tall, and the plants bloom in summer.

Pairs well with Indian shot, Lemon Grass lemongrass, and Autumn fern.
