Erythronium americanum – Trout Lily / Adder’s Tongue

A charming woodland spring ephemeral, Erythronium americanum features dark green leaves mottled with silvery-maroon, topped by nodding, yellow, tulip-like flowers in late spring. Clumps form attractive seasonal ground cover, fading into dormancy by mid-summer. Best planted in areas that receive ample early spring sun, it thrives in moist woodland soils.
