Description

Erythronium ‘Harvington Sunshine’ is a bulbous perennial which grows up to 40cm in height.  This is our own selection by Hugh Nunn in Harvington, created from a cross of E. oregonum x tuolumnense in 2004.  Its flowers are a stunning citrus yellow, with fresh, bright, large green leaves with light mottling. ‘Harvington Sunshine’  is a very vigorous, clump forming and tall growing Erythronium.

Erythronium ‘Harvington Sunshine’ flowers from late March into April. Their leaves die back in June and the bulbs become dormant over the summer. The best time to buy and plant Erythronium bulbs is in July/August/September, because 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. 

Please note:  We send these to you as dormant, freshly lifted, flowering size bulbs from July through to September  ready for potting up or planting directly into 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 collection has taken many years to develop. It takes at least 5 years to grow a flowering sized bulb from seed and propagation by division is slow.
