Tigridia pavonia is native to Central and South America and has a long history of use there as a food plant. The garlic-clove sized bulbs are eaten roasted while the plant is dormant in winter and are deliciously nutty and starchy - if fiddly to dig, clean and prepare. The plants thrive in sunny gardens in fertile, well-drained soil and flower colours will vary from yellow to red.

Sow winter to early spring.
