I am a newbie that just bought herself 2 bags of 20 tiger lily bulbs.
They are starting to sprout but have difficulties. What kind of soil
and fertilizer would liger lilies love?

Thank you very much,
Alexandra C

Alexandrea, tiger Lillies are not fussy about fertilizers or soil
conditions, so long as they are not placed in ground that is waterlogged a
great deal of the time.
If you wish to fertilize I recomend Bonemeal added to the bottom of the hole
at time of planting,

Maybe I missed something. You have asked this question at least twice and
got answers. I believe that you sent me email which I answered. The
troubling part is that on December 9th. you wrote: " received this summer
some beautiful Tiger Lilies. They are my first
lilies and I don't know how to care for them very well." You also wrote:
"My plants (lilies - intense orange with tiny brown specks) are dying slowly
and I don't know why. The leaves start to show yellow "

Now you say that you just bought some "bulbs" and don't know how to care for
them and that they are just sprouting. Which is it?

Well, after that I felt better with all the advice and went out and
bought a different colour. I am sorry if you feel I have asked the same
questions. I wanted some more opinions on this. It will be my first
garden (when we finally manage to settle down) and I wanted it to be
perfect.
Thank you for your help and Merry Christmas!
