Tigridia Mix (10 Bulbs)

Tigridia bulbs are planted in spring, once the risk of hard frost has passed. Choose a warm, sunny and sheltered position with light, well-drained soil, as the bulbs dislike cold, wet conditions.

Plant Tigridia bulbs around 10cm deep and space them about 10 to 15cm apart. They grow best in full sun, in fertile soil with added grit or sand if drainage is poor.

Each individual Tigridia flower usually lasts for a single day, which is completely normal. However, each stem produces several buds that open in succession, so a clump can provide colour over a much longer period.

Yes. Tigridia grows well in containers filled with free-draining compost. Pots are particularly useful in colder parts of the UK, as they can be moved under cover when autumn frosts begin.

In colder areas, lift Tigridia bulbs after flowering and once the foliage has died back. Let them dry, then store them in dry compost or sand in a cool, frost-free place until planting again in spring.
