Product Details

A robust hybrid, bulb, Erythronium 'Pagoda' bears graceful yellow flowers with a reddish-brown ring at the center. The leaves are a beautiful bright green. It's a strong grower and taller than other Erythroniums.

Trout Lilies are easy to grow in partial shade especially at the feet of trees and shrubs, where the soil is rich and woodsy. Do not let them dry out in summer, or drown in winter, and you will be rewarded with graceful blooms in April and early May.

Shipping Info

We want our customers to receive strong, healthy plants that are ready to thrive in their gardens and homes. Here's what we'd like you to know about our shipping practices.

Delivery Timing

We aim to deliver your plants at as close to the proper time for planting in your area as possible. To do so, we consider the USDA Hardiness Zone to which we're shipping, current and forecasted weather at the destination and along the shipping route, and whether your plants are ready for transplant.

In spring, we ship first to the warmest regions and move north as planting conditions improve. For fall deliveries, we begin with the coolest regions and work south. We frequently adjust shipping schedules when extreme weather could put plants at risk while in transit or soon after arrival.

Because different plants reach readiness at different rates and are weather-sensitive in varying degree, a single order may be delivered via multiple shipments. Plants sold as part of a collection, or that are otherwise meant to arrive together, will be shipped together. Please contact our customer service team with two weeks' advance notice if you anticipate being away at the expected time of delivery. 

Tracking information for each package is delivered via email. 

Plant & Container Sizes

We deliver plants in various sizes and stages of growth, and the product detail pages of our website indicate the form and/or pot size in which the plant will be delivered. Pot sizes range from 1 pint to 1 gallon and larger. Many perennials, roses, shrubs and vines are delivered bareroot - that is, not in a container at all. Bulbs and tubers are generally delivered bareroot and fully dormant. We choose container sizes and delivery methods based on how each plant grows best, how we can minimize transplant shock, and how to minimize unnecessary bulk/weight in shipment. 

Caring for Your Plants Upon Arrival

It is important to acclimate greenhouse-grown plants to life outdoors. All plant shipments include simple instructions for handling your plants upon arrival. Further how-to information, including planting instructions, is available on each plant's product page.

Latin Name Pronunciation: air-ith-roe'-nee-um

Size: 8-9 cm 

Plant immediately upon receipt, as bulbs dry out quickly. Plant 3″ deep, 4–5″ apart (5–6 per sq ft).

Plants prefer humus-rich soil in a partly shaded woodland site. On arrival, bulbs may appear spongy and somewhat discolored. This is normal and does not mean the bulbs are not viable. Only if they are powdery dry are they not worth planting.

Beautiful, but not deer resistant

"The first year in the ground they didn't do much, but this, their second year, they came up as nice sized plants and had flowers, until the deer came in and wiped them out. I hope that they managed to store enough energy before that happened to come up again in 2025. The point of my review is to say that although they are noted to be deer resistant, that depends upon your deer; don't count on it!"

Delightful!

"I'm overjoyed by how lovely these little woodland flowers are. It's the last week in April and my first has just bloomed, with others looking poised for next week. Like others, I had lots of winter anxiety that they would fail or that some vile creature would dig up the bulbs, but nearly 100% of what I've planted has appeared. They are ethereal, glossy, and look particularly exotic against a wash of fallen camellia petals from a neighbor's shrub. I plan to plant a few more this coming fall."

Spectacular from the start

"What a great native spring ephemeral! I got them in the ground as soon as they arrived and they started coming up the first week in March. By the end of the month each plant had at least one flower stalk with the cheery yellow blossoms beginning to open. The foliage is attractive, too, though it should disappear later in the summer. One of the bulbs I ordered was dug up over the winter by some critter but the others all flourished."

Lovely, if they bloom

"Five of 6 bulbs emerged with healthy looking leaves. Only two flowered; two of the others had only dried flower buds; the fifth one only had leaves. Hopefully they'll all bloom next year. When these flower, they're absolutely lovely with several flowers per stem. Taller than other trout lilies and quite striking."

Beautiful Plants

"These plants are great! I was worried about our very cold winter here - Feb 2015 never saw a day above freezing in MD zone 7a - but these popped up this spring and they all bloomed and were beautiful. I've read that these are loved by deer though - I have never had any issues with deer although I know they are in the area. So far they haven't come for these."

Great plant

"We have them wild here and I'm always adding to them. Our woods are almost full now."

a dainty charmer

"Pagoda has more presence than the Rocky Mountain Dog Tooth Violets of my childhood. This year Spring was late and I have Erythronium, tulips, daffodils and Fritillaria all in bloom. From my kitchen window Pagoda is the most pleasing of them all and I will be planting more for next year."
