Usually they are planted quite deeply so the soil insulates them from summer heat. That way they don't wither away to nothing in one season. You can plant them in biggish containers which would give them about eight inches of root room and four inches or so of cover. Be prepared to check them over each year because the bulbs multiply quite quickly and they run out of both room and food. (Hungry feeders.) In the garden they make lovely patches of colour but they're probably best at the back of a border so they can act as a green background to other plants in front when they finish flowering. Do 'mark the spot' as they are very easy to stab when weeding or working around them. They appreciate liquid fertiliser as they're growing. Half-strength weekly, if you have to water often. They don't do well if they dry out.

Macella I can send you the orange Tiger Lilies if that is what you are looking for - have lots. More orange than pink. If you are interested I would be interested in your Weigela. irisman646

It might be Asian as I saw Tiger Lillys in Myanmar in a place called Pyin Oo Lwin. Actually these are old gardens constructed by the British lone time a go. But it may explain the conflict. The reference can be found here: Travel Blog Here is a link that might be useful: Travel Blog

Cannot be done. Different genetics. It would be like trying to cross a cat with a dog.
