How to care for Erythronium Pagoda:
Plant bulbs 10cm (4in) deep and 10cm (4in) apart in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, ideally in partial shade. Arrange in naturalistic drifts and leave undisturbed for several years to establish.
Apply a 5-7 cm (2-3in) mulch of leaf mould or compost in autumn to help conserve moisture and feed the roots. Leave plants undisturbed once established, and remove old foliage only after it has fully died back.
Avoid planting beneath thirsty trees or shrubs that dry out the soil in summer.
