About Lilium lancifolium
Standing tall between 3 to 5 feet, with a width of about 1 to 1.5 feet, the Tiger Lily is a sight to behold. It doesn't have any leaves, but it more than makes up for it with its eye-catching tangerine flowers. These vibrant blooms don't have a specific bloom time, so they can surprise you with their sudden burst of color.
Despite its many names, the Tiger Lily is most commonly known as the 'Devil Lily'. This is because of its fiery, tangerine-colored flowers that seem to set the garden ablaze with their vibrancy.
