Erythronium americanum--Trout Lily


Hardiness Zones: 3 to 8
Height: 12 in Spacing: 4 in
Type: hardy bulb
Flowers: Yellow (Vis. 1)

Comments: Trout Lily is native to much of the eastern
United States. Other species of Erythronium can be used
as garden flowers and all will require about the same
growing conditions. The plants grow best in shade or
partial shade and in a moist, well-drained soil. Avoid
damaging the bulbs and do not let them dry out before
planting.
