Trout Lily is the herald of spring in eastern woodlands, but this native wildflower also makes a gorgeous addition to any shade garden in zones 3-8. The plant’s name comes from its speckled green leaves (that resemble trout), and its nodding yellow flowers that look like miniature lilies. Plants can take up to four years to flower after planting, but the foliage is attractive enough that it’s worth the wait. (Erythronium)
3-6" tall x 3-6" wide. Erythronium americanum (Trout Lily) is a common sight in the woodlands of eastern North America, but it's a beautiful early spring garden plant, as well. In the wild, plants grow in colonies formed from underground runners. In the home garden, colonies and clumps will develop if plants are left undisturbed. Plant the corms three inches deep in areas with partial to full shade in moist soil rich in organic matter. (Try to recreate the conditions of the forest floor.) Like other spring ephemerals, Trout Lily plants go dormant during the summer. Plant in the fall.

"I'm new to planting native wildflowers. I have a shady backyard and poor soil which I've been trying to amend with compost. I planted these last year and they are the most successful and earliest of all my wildflower seeds that I planted! I'm so excited to see them come up and I can't wait for them to gain a foothold in my backyard."
— Mom G. (5/5)
Soooo delicate and fairylike-sweet!
"Planted in an area with hellebores, brunnera, pulmonaria, and other shade-type plants. This is the first year of emergence, and I'm glad I provided it a space of its own, or I would have not noticed them! One flowered, the other two are getting their sea legs, I guess - just a leaf each showing above ground. Didn't think to take a snap when they came up. . . This plant has an amazing palette and delicacy, and I suspect likely would have had difficulty coming up under the tough Hellebores. Unfortunately, one morning I found one of the leaves broken. May have been due to my husband's overzealous watering technique or a cat chase through the yard. . . Hoping it had enough air time to provide the launch for next season!"
