Tigridia pavonia coll. #D12-16 (Mexican Shell Flower)
Part Sun to Light Shade Zone: 7b-10 24" tall Origin: Mexico
Holy Cow! When our first shell flowers opened in the nursery, employees were so excited we mistakenly thought it was payday! Frankly, we grow a lot of plants, but few can compare in glory to the Mexican shell flowers. Atop grey-green foliage, which resembles a palm tree seedling, emerge 1' tall stalks topped with giant 2-3" wide cups of pinky orange with yellow and brown markings. Our offerings are seed grown from a Yucca Do collection, found growing under the shade of a sycamore in a summer flooded, red clay ditch at 5,100' elevation in Nuevo Leone, Mexico. These bulbs are quite an improvement over the cool-loving Peruvian stock sold by most bulb firms. For us, tigridias begin flowering in early July and the parade of one day-only flowers can continue sporadically for over a month. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #04941
