Description
A springtime display of lemon colored fawn lilies will surely brighten your day. This lovely member of the lily family is endemic to the Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains. From a scape and a mottled pair of basal leaves, flowering stems rises 6″-8″, topped by nodding white to yellow flowers (mainly creamy white with a yellow center) often with recurved petals. Lemon colored fawn lily is found growing in conifer forest, mixed conifer forest, chaparral, and oak woodland. Blooms March-May, depending on elevation. From seed this species can take 3-5 years to produce a flower.
Lemon colored fawn lily (Erythronium citrinum) seed packets contain approximately 75 seeds per packet.
Seed Germination Instructions
90-120 days of cold-moist stratification is recommended. Sow seeds outside in fall and let nature do the stratification naturally outside, if you have cold enough winters. If you live in an area with mild winters, you may need to provide the cold-moist stratification artificially. For more information please read through the information in our Seed Germination and Propagation Reference Guide.
