Erythronium (Trout Lily) |
|
|
Erythroniums, or Trout Lilies, are ideal woodland plants as they originate from the woodlands of North America, particularly by the side of streams, hence their common name. The pendulous, recurving, pagoda-like flowers are quite attractive and the low-growing foliage forms a dense ground cover over time.
