Asian Fawn Lily, Katakuri
Erythronium japonicum (Asian Fawn Lily) is a charming perennial boasting elegant, nodding, lilac-pink flowers, one per stem, in mid to late spring. Each blossom features gracefully reflexed petals adorned with contrasting deep burgundy markings in the throat. They rise well above the basal foliage of broadly elliptical, green leaves. Lovely in groups under deciduous trees, in rock gardens or near ponds and streams where it will happily multiply. This is a spring ephemeral whose foliage disappears by late spring as the plant goes dormant.
