sometimes splashed with red. 
Really they belong to the Iris family but be 
it as they may, Tigridias are among the most 
brilliant of summer flowering bulbs. Though 
individual blooms last but a day, new ones 
open each morning, keeping up the display 
for many weeks. 
Plant in the spring after the soil warms up 
and take them up in the fall as they will not 
withstand freezing. Store over winter where 
mice can not reach them as the corms seem 
to be favored food for these pests. Note also, 
after digging in the fall, DO NOT pull the 
bulbs apart until time to plant in the spring. 
They will keep better if not allowed to dry 
out too much. Best stored in a cool place. 
We offer them in separate colors or a mix-
