Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This easy to grow cultivar of species californicum hails from, as you might have guessed, California. Elegant and dainty clusters of pure white lily-like flowers centred with yellow arise over glossy, green-mottled foliage in early spring. 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 that will take over the show for the rest of the season. Dry bulbs should be planted ASAP as viability out of soil is not long.

(TROUT LILY) Native American spring ephemeral woodlander…a classic and deservedly so! Beloved for its pure white, lily like flowers with reflexed petals marked with chocolate and yellow centers April to May, this is easy to grow in fertile soil that is somewhat moisture retentive during the growing season. Foliage on the 6-9 is mottled with cream and brown (like a trout skin…use your imagination…try hard). Perfect for the open woodland or rock garden in light shade. 6-9”, slowly offsets. Dormant by summer. USDA Z3-9
