Erythronium Pagoda

A more vigorous hybrid first discovered in the late 19th Century. It is a bigger plant altogether, with creamy yellow flowers. They are easier to grow than any of the others and one starts with a big finger sized tuber. Ideally planted in some shelter from spring gales (the large leaves tend to crack in strong winds) and in humus rich soils in the shade where they will clump up. 

RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Erythronium Pagoda has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit because it has proved to be reliable in appropriate conditions and a good performing plant. 

Planting Instructions

Erythronium Pagoda tubers should not be allowed to dry out and planted point up 4" (10cm) deep and 5-7" (12-18cm) apart in a cool, well-drained position where it will not become too sun-baked in summer, such as under shrubs and trees, whose roots will take away excess moisture. It is best grown in a sheltered spot out of too much wind as this can damage the leaves.
