Garden Grit: Worth the Fuss
Hobby Farm Home Magazine
Popular in the South and Southwest, the striking tigridia pavonia—sometimes known as tiger flower or peacock flower—features bold, triangular flower heads with deep-pink spotted throats. Native to Central and South America, Tigridia pavonia is hardy only in zones 8 through 10, but, when set out in the garden after the weather warms, it'll thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. Because the tiger flower can easily handle heat and times of drought, it's a good candidate for gardeners looking to experiment with tender bulbs.
