This award winning hybrid of “Dogtooth Violet” is a shimmering beauty! A cross between two west coast native species (E. tuolumnense and E. revolutum), boasting flowers that are larger (2”) and grow taller (14”) than either of its parents. Featuring distinctive, nodding, open-faced bell flowers of a sunny yellow, with up to 10 flowers per stem, this hardy bulb makes for quite the Spring show in a woodland garden. Each fairy-cap flower features recurved petals, reddish-brown center rings and yellow anthers. The foliage is also outstanding - broad green leaves with variable garnet mottling make a lush ground level carpet. Best grown in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil in part shade. A good naturalizer, if left undisturbed it spreads by bulbils. It’s wonderful planted en masse among ferns or columbines, as an understory beneath larger shade tolerant shrubs, or mixed among other part shade bulbs such as Brodiaea or Scilla. Overplant when plants go dormant in Summer. Deer and rodent resistant.
