Flowers in North Carolina - Do Tiger Lilys grow wild by the side of the road? What flowers bloom in April?

Hi:


I live in South Carolina and Tiger Lilies do grow wild in North and South Carolina. They grow native in the upstate of South Carolina and also along roadside in the foothills and mountains of North Carolina. Around the Charlotte area there are highways with Tiger Lilies in full bloom in the summer.





Dianthus is an early bloomer. I will link you to the gallery of plant section of my website. There is a page on annual and perennial flowers.





There are also many flowering shrubs that would work well in North Carolina.





Azaleas


Indian Hawthorn


Loropetalum or Chinese Pizazz


Viburnums





These are just a few. I will link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find any other articles, tips or techniques that may be useful to you. Good luck to you and have a great day!

Flowers in North Carolina - Do Tiger Lilys grow wild by the side of the road? What flowers bloom in April?
The most common of the flower referred to as tiger lilly is this one and they pretty well grow in wild form everywhere.... They are not however considered one of the wildflowers of North Carolina. They also come with different types of black spots but are still called tiger lillies.

The Carolina Lily (Lilium michauxii) is a showy orange flower that is a native wild flower in North Carolina. It looks a lot like a Tiger Lily, but it doesn't shows up until July %26amp; August. It can pop up in unexpected places.
