Erythronium americanum, commonly called Yellow Trout Lily, is a cute and easy-to-grow North American native perennial perfect for the shade or woodland garden. Yellow in the common name comes from the delightful, nodding, lily-shaped flowers with reflexed yellow petals that appear mid-spring. Trout in the name comes from the coloration of the glossy, tongue-shaped, tulip-like leaves that are mottled in purple and brown. The flowers bloom atop a naked stem that rises from a sheath of two leaves up to 6 inches long. If planted in a partially shaded or shady woodland setting with loose, fertile, moist soil, the plant’s stolons will slowly spread to form a colony if left undisturbed. The Trout Lily is one of those plants that will always have you looking forward to spring, especially since the plant is dormant throughout the rest of the year, building anticipation. 

Please Note:  Trout Lily plants go dormant in late spring/early summer so plants shipped after this time will not have foliage.
