White Trout Lily has mottled green leaves and nodding white flowers marked with yellow at the centre. It emerges early in spring, flowers briefly, and then disappears underground for the remainder of the growing season. It grows naturally in rich deciduous woods and floodplain forests. It prefers partial to full shade and moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. It is a wonderful choice for a naturalistic woodland garden. It can take several years to establish from seed. It spreads slowly through underground bulbs and offsets. It is best left undisturbed once planted. You can plant it beneath deciduous trees where spring sunlight reaches the ground before the tree canopy fills in. Avoid hot, dry garden locations.
