Erythronium californicum 'White Beauty' P9

Erythronium californicum ‘White Beauty’ – a graceful woodland springtime delight. Rising just 15–20 cm tall, its nodding white flowers peek above mottled green leaves, adding quiet elegance to shaded borders or woodland corners, before dying down in early summer, awaiting the next spring.

Thrives in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in partial to full shade, and slowly naturalises to create charming drifts over time. Early blooms provide nectar for bees and other pollinators, making it a subtle but valuable addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.
