Erythronium oregonum | Oregon Fawn Lily

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Erythronium oregonum sends up nodding, creamy white flowers washed with soft yellow at the throat and faintly tinted on the reverse, opening in early to mid-spring above mottled green leaves marked with dusky marbling. Recurved petals and gently arching stems lend a quiet woodland presence that endures through the brief flowering season, while subtle tonal shifts appear as blooms mature.

Native to moist forests and open meadows of the Pacific Northwest of North America, it follows the seasonal rhythm of coastal and inland woodlands, retreating to underground bulbs after spring growth and returning with the next cool, bright season.
