What's the Name of that Plant?
Every wonder what the name of the plant you saw on the side of the road was or the one you saw while walking in the woods? Each month we will feature a native plant that is blooming or has an interesting fruit or leaf color or one that has naturalized (think kudzu!) in the wild. Many of these plants will grow fine in your landscape, provided you give them the requirements they need. This months plant is Trout Lily or Dogtooth Violet. Trout lily is a mid-late winter perennial creating quite a scene when not much else is blooming. Trout lilies can be found blooming with some of the earlier blooming trilliums, T. underwoodii, T. decipiens, and T. maculatum. The foliage can vary greatly, with some having lots of motteling and some having none. Trout lilies are usually sold by specialty nurseries, specializing in native plants. |
