Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Kondo' is a vigorous hybrid between E. tuolumnense from central California and E. californicum from northern California has up to 7 flowers per stem. They are lemon yellow, nodding, lily-like flowers and are held above lush, glossy, burgundy-mottled foliage. Plant in a woodland setting or shade border with moisture retentive, fertile soil. Erythronium will go dormant before summer so plant them near late-emerging perennials like hostas and toadlilies. Dry bulbs should be planted ASAP as viability out of soil is not long.
