Dog Tooth Violet 'Pagoda'

A striking, spring flowering perennial with mottled, rich green leaves and stems with up to 10 nodding creamy-yellow, lily-like flowers, Erythronium Pagoda works well in a moist woodland garden. It does best in rich, moisture retentive soil, and needs moist soil even when dormant. The leaves of Erythronium die back completely in Summer. This is a vigorous plant which will form clumps and spread.
