Tigridia pavonia ‘Alba’ (Tiger Flower) is a tender bulbous perennial with striking flowers adorned with three large, pristine white outer petals and a central cluster of three smaller petals covered with red speckles. Similarly to daylilies, the delicate flowers of Tigridia bloom for only a single day. But, as each plant produces an abundance of stems, the flowering period, in reality, lasts several weeks from mid to late summer. Each eye-catching blossom rides atop a slender stem and upright blade-shaped leaves. Easy to grow, Tigridia ‘Alba’ is perfect for borders and containers.
