Erythronium – Dog Tooth Violets

Erythronium are charming bulbous perennials boasting nodding, lily-shaped flowers with gracefully reflexed petals in spring. Equally attractive is the foliage of elliptic leaves, often copiously marbled with purple-brown. Easy to grow, they are lovely in groups under deciduous trees, in rock gardens or near ponds and streams where they will happily multiply.
