Our neighbour gave us some Tiger Lilies plants. She put them in a container
and covered them with soil. How do I plant these ? I mean, do I plant them
the way they came out of her garden, foliage all in tact? Or do I plant them
and cut them back ? . Or is it perhaps better to wait till Fall and plant
the tubers ? Also, do these lilies have to be planted in full sunshine, or
do they tolerate shade. We are in S.Ontario, and it is very warm here now. I
don't like to waste these attractive plants. Thanks ! Ben.

Plant them now. They like full sun to part sun. They will survive shade,
but they don't bloom well in shade. Just to make it easier, I would cut
them back to about 4 inches before planting. You can plant them as-is but
they will look messy for the rest of the season.
