<p>(Family Liliaceae) Clump-forming tuberous perennial which flowers in the spring. It has two semi-erect basal leaves which are slightly mottled. Up to three pendent white flowers with yellow centres and a brown ring near the centre. The petals often reflex as the flowers open fully. It grows to 35cm (14in) high and 12cm (5in) wide.</p><p>Erythroniums are hardy and like to grow in partial shade in woodland conditions of moist, humus-rich soil. The tubers do not like to get too hot or dry in the summer while they are dormant. They definately prefer a cooler climate. Propagate by seed in autumn, or also by offsets which should be divided in late summer (do not allow tubers to dry out before replanting them at a depth of 15cm (6in).</p>
