Erythronium californicum 'White Beauty'
The Erythronium californicum 'White Beauty', or Trout Lily, offers large, elegant blooms that transition from creamy to pure white, featuring a striking red-centered interior with creamy anthers. Its foliage is equally captivating, adorned with attractive brown and white marbling. Thriving in partial shade within rich, woodsy soil, these lilies are ideal for woodland gardens. To ensure graceful flowering in April and early May, maintain consistent moisture, avoiding both summer dryness and winter waterlogging. These bulbs ship dormant and are ready for planting.

What customers say
Dedicated gardeners highly praise the exquisite beauty of the Erythronium californicum 'White Beauty,' noting its stunning white petals and attractive mottled foliage as a unique woodland addition. Initial bulb quality from the supplier receives consistent high marks; bulbs arrive healthy and robust. However, a significant point of friction exists regarding establishment difficulty. Many report disappointment when these ephemerals fail to perform due to their specific, cool, and moist environmental needs. Success hinges on precise planting and excellent drainage. The sentiment is split: five stars for experienced gardeners in ideal climates, but a costly challenge for others given the premium price and inconsistent results.
