Tiger Lily is a species of true lily native to the eastern and central regions of North America.
Other names the Tiger lily goes by are, Turk’s Cap Lily, Turban Lily, Swamp lily or American Tiger Lily.
Tiger Lily grows from feet 3-7 high, typically 3-7 blooms, but exceptional specimens have been observed with up to 40 flowers on each stem. It is capable of growing in wet conditions. It is fairly variable in size, form, and color. The color is known to range from a deep yellow to orange to a reddish-orange “flame” coloring, with reddish petal tips. The flowers have a green star at their center than can be used to distinguish Lilium superbum from the Asiatic “Tigerlilies” that frequently escape from cultivation.The species ranges from New Hampshire south to Florida, and west to Missouri and Arkansas.
