To propagate a Tiger Lily, the most common method is to divide the bulbs by carefully digging up the plant when it’s dormant and gently separating the individual bulbs, then replanting them separately with the pointed end facing upwards; you can also propagate them using the small bulbils that grow along the stem of the plant, which can be removed and planted like seeds.
Key points about propagating Tiger Lilies:
Best time to divide: Early spring before new growth appears or in fall in warmer climates.
Bulbils: These are small, pea-sized bulbs that form in the leaf axils along the stem; carefully remove them and plant them separately.
Planting depth: Plant the divided bulbs or bulbils 2-4 inches deep in the soil with the pointed end up.
