Erythronium ' Pagoda '

These are great for a shaded corner, and they spread, which is always a bonus in my book.

Lovely Amy and from what Oji says, I need to get some. Sound perfect for my needs.

Yes they are perfect Ojib. I'm still waiting for this one to spread Dawn it was new last year , I wonder if you can buy seeds because if not it would be expensive to buy individual plants ....

This is the third year I've had mine. The clump has spread much more this year than last ( no surprise there) so I assume it is because the ground has been warmer.
I don't know how easy they would be to grow from seed.

Thanks Ojib perhaps mine will put a spurt on this year , do you split your plants at all ?

Love them but so do the slugs.Would think seed four years minimum from germination to flower.

That is beautiful!

No, Amy, I just leave them to do their own thing. It's a bit of garden in almost complete shade so I am pleased to have them helping to fill it.
I have the yellow Pagoda and also a slightly smaller creamy white one Californicum which I put inthis year.

You're so much further ahead than us Amy, I have 3 of these but they're only just showing buds, bought mine for 50p each from the local greengrocers!!!!! bargain :-) very slow to increase here though, think I've had mine 3 years and don't look a deal bigger,yet.

I can't wait 4 years Brian I'm to impatient :o) thanks for your information Ojib I have planted it in a nice shady spot ,the cream sounds nice ! yours were a real bargain Kathy at .50p each I think this was nearer £ 2.00 .....

they are out in the lake district, well the pink ones are!

I have just bought one of these and am very pleased with it. It only gets shade in the afternoon so hope it is OK. Lovely photo, Amy.

That is gorgeous;0)

I didn't know they came in pink Sticki :o) It should be Gill the sun is at it's hottest in the afternoon when it needs the shade most . thanks Carole ......

i got it at knightshayes court amy, it has their i think its called knightshayes?

It sounds lovely :o)

pink is not my colour but these were lovely, its a beautiful garden, i will do a blog soon

guess where i was yesterday amy ~ Hill Top!!!

I know Sticki I saw your pic of Peter Rabbit . isn't it a lovely place to visit ? we went a couple of years ago , it's nice that you can see places in the rooms that are included in the story books ......

oh i do love that little house, admittedly it would be too dark for me but i can just imagine it all ~ just lovely.

mind you im not so keen on the story she wrote there ~ not my favourite character, Samuel Whiskers!!

Love these ours is nearly out.......

I bought one of these last weekend Amy! Im also always on the lookout for plants that do well in shade. I wont tell you how much I paid for it, but it was a good deal more than £2! Its a good plant though so Im very pleased - lets hope they all spread nicely :-))

We bought a little one I think only last year and it is now three times as big!
Can you split them?

I hope so Poppy ! Sticki , I've had a look in my book it says ..... Resents root disturbance ----divide overcrowded clumps in late Autumn ! ----- do you know yesterday I found a clump growing where I planted one last year that I thought had died so fingers crossed I will now have two plants :o)

that was a really good surprise amy! i have found more than one so they must like this garden, im really pleased.
autumn it will be then!!

Oh brilliant Amy, I love it when that happens. Its so nice to pick up plants when youre on your travels. Are you still in the Lake District Sticki?

no poppy i got back on monday

Great photo, Amy. Love these, but they disappear in my garden. :))

Thats a shame Sheila , our soil is acid I wonder if that makes a difference ......

Ah right - that could be it Amy. I'll know another time!

Mine too Amy.
