After more than fifty years of gardening, I finally got around to planting some of these bulbs for the first time this year. I planted a few in the ground, and the rest in pots - the ones in the pots started blooming about a week ago (early July). The flowers are enormous - much larger than I expected them to be, and the plants are taller than I expected as well. If the leaves stay green for the duration of summer, I’ll probably plant the potted ones in the ground next spring. If they die back before summer ends, I’ll plan to keep growing them in pots so I can move them when they’re finished blooming. I have limited ground space which I don’t want to devote to plants (i.e. bulbs) that start to die back before the season is over. This is why I grow all of my spring blooming bulbs, such as daffodils, in pots, since they start looking pretty ugly while waiting for the foliage to die back. On the other hand, daylilies, bearded iris, crocosmia, etc. tend to stay green for the duration of summer, at least here in California, even after they’re finished blooming. I’ll be curious which category the tigridias fall into. Either way, the flowers are outstanding and I’m happy I finally bought some. Thanks for the inspiring videos.
Very exotic they actually also offer them from Van Bourgondien, Dutch Gardens, and several others. Not at all common. I have never planted them but have heard they are super easy and they naturalize....so you'll get more every year!!!
Mine came up and bloomed, taller than I expected...thier foliage looks like gladiola, but the bloom.is very different. Quite lovely. Plant a bunch because they only have 1 or 2 blooms per plant. (1st year)
Can anyone in this Community confirm that you can eat the roots of tigridia pavonia? I have read it often, but I am still searching for a Video by someone who is actually preparing a dish Out of tigridia pavonia.
Hello... from Utah. I have a question on pest control, what kind I can use to kill whatever is eating my green leaves on my flowers... I also have a dog... please help... also I want beautiful healthy plants but as I planted them in the ground, i only get small flowers... any suggestions?
Hi Nery! 👋 .. from WA. 😃 There are some general garden pests that can feast on many different plants, like slugs or snails, weevils, and caterpillars, to name a few. If you can catch these plant-eaters in the act, that would be great so you can then know what your options are for control or even to just lessen their damage. For slugs, snails, and earwigs(they can eat your flower petals, jerks), we use Sluggo Plus, which is kid and pet friendly and is on Amazon: amzn.to/3yIHbai For the second part of your question with planting your new plants and only getting small flowers, there could be a few things happening here. This could be from transplant shock and your new plants re-allocating energy and nutrients to regrowing any lost roots from being transplanted, along with getting used to their new planted location. Also, you could be seeing smaller flowers due to not enough sunlight or exposure for specific plants. Some plants need only 4+ hours of sunlight per day, where others need 6+ or 8+ hours of sunlight each day and this can equate to them being healthy enough to then flower. Also, if depends on if plants are in either full sun, partial sun or shade, or in full shade. Depending on which plants you are seeing smaller flowers on and their sunlight needs and exposure requirements, you can then gauge if they are planted in the best places in your garden to fulfill these light requirements. One other thing to think about for why your plants are producing smaller flowers is if they are under any kind of stress, be it environmental, nutrient, or other source. We hope this helps and we hope you see larger flowers, and little to no more pests in your garden. Thank you for asking us about these and for being here! 😃👍
