Erythronium californicum ‘White Beauty’ (2 litre pot)

Description

Erythronium californicum ‘White Beauty’ is a spring flowering bulb which grows up to 25cm in height.  The beautiful lily-like creamy white flowers have swept back petals revealing yellow and orange markings and pronounced white stamens. With lightly mottled leaves, this vigorous Erythronium is a quality garden plant that clumps up well.

Erythronium californicum ‘White Beauty’ flowers in April.  The leaves die back in June and the bulbs become dormant over the summer.  We despatch Erythronium bulbs in July/August/September, because if planted then they will root down in the autumn while the soil is still warm.  The attractive glossy leaves start to emerge towards the end of February. 

In case you missed the summer despatch season, we also send flowering size bulbs potted up during the winter  ready for planting out in the garden. The species and cultivars of  Erythronium that we offer are all selected because they are good garden plants.  They grow well in dappled shade and the bulbs should be kept damp and not dried out.

Our Erythroniums have taken at least 5 years to grow to the flowering sized bulbs we supply.  Erythronium are just some of several specialist plants that we grow and propagate on our nursery, which is based in South Lincolnshire. We are passionate about quality and are constantly striving to achieve clarity of flower colour, attractive foliage and garden worthiness within all our plants.
