Erythronium Californicum White Beauty | 2 Litre Pot

A spring-flowering, woodland bulb. Position: partial to shade Soil: fertile, humus-rich, freely draining soil that does not dry out Rate of growth: fast Flowering period: March to April Hardiness: fully hardy Bulb size: 1 These look wonderful when allowed to form naturalistic drifts in a woodland setting, and as they are reasonably vigorous in nature, they are also one of the easiest to grow. Their leaves, which form a basal clump, are softly marbled, and it is from amongst these that the slender stems rise up in spring, each bearing up to 3 nodding white flowers. These are made up of strongly recurved and pointed tepals (petals), that surround a prominent cluster of white stamens. ‘White Beauty’ is a truly elegant plant in every way. Garden care: Try to avoid planting under shrubs or trees that will soak up all the soil moisture in the summer.
