The Erythroniums native to the Western U.S. are considered by many to be the most beautiful of the genus. Often called “Fawn Lilies” because of the dappled coloring to the leaves, they have dainty nodding flowers like small lilies, set off by large shining leaves that are either plain green or marbled with silver and bronze. Most grow in shaded woodland areas that go quite dry in summer, but with excellent drainage, they can tolerate some summer water.

Erythronium multiscapoideum
$12.00
This beautiful species is from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, and often grows in
the most exposed conditions, in poor soil that dries out completely in summer. The
dainty nodding flowers are white with yellow centers, and the leaves are strikingly
marbled. This is always the first Erythronium to bloom, often as early as February.
