Erythronium grandiflorum
35 seeds
Glacier Lily (Erythronium grandiflorum) is a North American species of plants in the lily family. It is also known by several common names, including Yellow Avalanche Lily and Dogtooth Violet. It can be found in subalpine mountain meadows, slopes, and clearings. Each flower has bright lemon yellow petals, white stamens with large white to yellow to red anthers, and a white style. This species occurs from sagebrush slopes and montane forests to subalpine to alpine meadows, from southern B.C. to Washington and northeastern Oregon, east to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. The flower is pollinated by bumblebees and other bees.
Seeds are best sown into flats in the autumn. Sink the flat into the ground in an area that offers shade, preferably close to a wall that faces north. Provide a glass or plastic covering. Make certain the soil remains moist. Bring the flats indoors at the beginning of spring and keep at 50-60°F. Transplant seedlings following the last frost in full or partial shade. Glacier Lilies prefer moist, woodland-like soil and require regular watering during dry periods to keep soil moist. In late summer add a top dressing of leaf mold.
