Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Whether you're inclined to call this a trout lily, dog-tooth violet, fawn lily or something else entirely, it's still a perfect little woodland flower. Sweet, remarkably sturdy (it can pretty much take care of itself) and fleeting (bulbs are only available for a few weeks), Mahogany Fawn lilies are tailor-made for that shady spot under that old oak. This variety of fawn lily has earned the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
