Erythronium revolutum | Coast Fawn Lily

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Erythronium revolutum unfolds nodding flowers in soft shades of rose to lavender-pink during early to mid-spring, each bloom marked by a deeper yellow center and gracefully recurved petals. Broad, mottled leaves spread beneath the flowers, patterned in tones of green and brown that bring quiet texture to shaded woodland settings while supporting the delicate display above.

Native to moist coastal forests and streamside habitats of the Pacific Northwest of North America, it follows a seasonal rhythm of cool-season growth and summer dormancy typical of spring-flowering woodland bulbs. Gentle naturalizing growth allows colonies to expand gradually where conditions remain undisturbed.
