Eremurus x isabellinus "Pinokkio" Foxtail lily
Stiffly upright, pointing skyward like a rocket before blast-off, "Pinokkio" is an ornament to the summer garden. The densely- packed individual flowers on the truly impressive flower stalk glow in coppery yellow to orange shades in front of dark trees and shrubs or in flowerbeds. Their essential requirement is for a sunny, warm, and wind-sheltered spot on well-drained soil rich in nutrients, with no risk of water logging. After flowering, cut the flower stalks back to halfway down the stem. Mulch in winter with leaves and brushwood. If necessary, also protect the leaf shoots in the spring from cold weather damage. As the root stocks are friable, care is advisable when planting. Plant in late summer. Do not divide the rhizome until three or four years have passed. Makes an attractive cut flower.
Eranthis hyemalis Winter aconite
This sturdy little marvel will cheer up a melancholy spring garden with a scented carpet of flowers in almost blinding yellow. It is an undemanding little plant and has few requirements where soil and care are concerned. In semi-shade or light spring shade, it will spread—through bulblets or seed—along the borders of shrubbery or woodland, under bushes or on scanty lawns. Plant in the fall. The bulbs are very sensitive to dehydration, so do not store. Take care: all parts of the plant, particularly the bulb, are poisonous. Tip: E. hyemalis is an excellent source of food for bees.
Erythronium "Citronella" Dogtooth violet
The rather unflattering common name was given to this airy crown-shaped beauty because of its egg-shaped, whitish bulb, which does indeed resemble a dog's canine tooth. The delicate yellow pendent flowers with their dark yellow anthers will reward a site in semi-shade and fertile, humus soil by plentiful flowering. Keep the plants moist during the growth period, but avoid water logging, and keep them rather drier after flowering. In areas with a harsh climate, a winter mulch of leaves and brushwood is required. Propagate in late summer by means of bulblets and seeds. This plant has decorative foliage.
