Description:
Erythronium albidum, the white fawn or trout lily, has beautiful burgundy-mottled, lance-shaped foliage that gives rise to reddish stems and nodding, white, lily-like flowers with reflexed petals in spring. Delicate and beautiful. Native to eastern North America where it can form large colonies on the forest floor. 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.
