I've only had Adorable Tiger since spring 2018 and so far, so good. It has bloomed for me both summers and I enjoy the extra bright colored blooms. Moderate increase, going from 2 fans to 5 in that time. I have it in a spot that gets morning/early afternoon sun and then shade the rest of the day. It is fertile both ways, sets pod easily for me. Not really any problems thus far, will see how it does this year.

I got Adorable Tiger in the summer of 2018, and it has done well for me so far. I've seen a moderate increase, too, from around 4 fans to 7. I have set pods on it and used the pollen successfully. The blooms are so bright and cheerful, much brighter than the only photo I have of it.

Was always slow here, and indeed it has been criticized on forums for bad plant habits. Here, that was slow multiplication, low height, and unreliable bloom. A kid, Tiger by the Tail, was touted as having much better plant habit. But I have seen a lot of people in the north grow it with satisfaction. Indeed, I suspect it has been tissue cultured, as a lot of large mail order places have offered it.

I bought Adorable Tiger in 2018. It bloomed in 2019 but had to be moved in 2020 when a tree fell on the deck it was planted next to. It seems to like it's new spot, shade until 10, sun until 4, the dappled shade the rest of the day.

Well, it turned out it didn't like the spot. Adorable Tiger disappeared and was completely taken over by Siloam Tiny Mite in the Spring of 2021. No sign of it since.
