Trout-lily
Erythronium americanum
Trout-lily is a charming native spring ephemeral that thrives in moist, humus-rich woodland soil under dappled shade. Plant the corms in autumn and keep the soil consistently moist during the spring growing season; the foliage will naturally die back by early summer. It is best suited to naturalized woodland gardens and pairs beautifully with other native wildflowers.
