Erythronium grandiflorum (Yellow Glacier Lily) 1 qt.
Bring the glory of our PNW spring flora into your landscape with this hard-to-find native spring ephemeral! Our native yellow glacier lily emerges in early spring, a great complement to tulips and snowdrops, brightening up the dreary days before the bounty of summer is upon us. Because it blooms so early, it can be planted just about anywhere; try it under your fruit trees, as it will be long gone before any worries of trampling when you need to access the space to pick your fruits. The early blooms are also important nectar sources for emerging native bees during a time when other forage is scarce.
The early bloom time also makes this lily drought tolerant, as Mother Nature provides plenty of moisture during the time this is present, and it goes happily dormant during the summer drought. It’s terrific placed in the landscape with a good mix of spring ephemerals such as bulbs and more evergreen or sturdy planting partners such as Bergenia. Best in a part-sun/part-shade setting with average to humus-rich garden soils, but tolerant of a wide variety of conditions.
The cheerful golden-yellow flowers feature nodding blooms with recurved petals and showy stamens atop a sturdy stem that rises 8-12 inches above ground, flanked by long, wavy-edged leaves. Over time, a single plant will create a gorgeous cluster that can be divided after several years to add more of this bounty to other parts of the landscape.
