Erythronium rostratum, the Yellow Trout Lily or Yellow Dog Tooth Violet, is a spring ephemeral native to central US. This Liliaceae family member produces nodding, yellow, lily-like flowers with recurved petals in early spring, above mottled, basal leaves.
Growing 6 to 10 inches tall, it goes dormant by early summer. Prefers moist, well-drained soil in deciduous shade. Perfect for naturalizing in woodland gardens. A delightful early-season native wildflower.
