Organic Erythronium ‘Pagoda’

Bring glamour to your garden and provide nectar for bees and butterflies with Erythronium ‘Pagoda’ organic flower bulbs. With glossy, dark green leaves and as many as ten yellow blooms on each red-brown stalk, the “dogtooth violet” is an elegant addition to meadow and woodland gardens.

Plant ‘Erythronium Pagoda’ in a shady spot that doesn’t dry out too much in summer. Combine with organic daffodils, organic tulips and organic narcissus such as “Narcissus recurvus” for a refreshing cocktail of colour that lasts for weeks.

The petals and leaves of the plant are edible and the true treasure lies in the bulb. Eaten as a staple food, the bulb of the plant has a mild taste, similar to that of plantains or potatoes. One can enjoy the bulb by lightly pan-frying it until it becomes slightly chewy and sweet, or by boiling it and adding it to stews for extra flavour. As all our flower bulbs are organically grown, you can be sure they’re pesticides-free and safe to eat.
