Dog's Tooth Violet 'Pagoda', Trout Lily, Glacier Lily, Erythronium tuolumnense 'Pagoda'
With big creamy-yellow flowers, Erythronium ‘Pagoda’ (Dog Tooth Violet) is an outstanding addition to shady gardens. Vigorous, this spring perennial features up to 10 nodding lily-like flowers per stem, 2 in. wide (5 cm), with elegantly recurved, pointed petals in mid to late spring. They rise well above the foliage of rich green, glossy leaves, mottled with brown or bronze markings. The rosette of leaves emerges in early spring and grows from long, tooth-like bulbs, before dying back soon after flowering.
