Description
Classic and natural planting styles are really chic, so if that’s the look you’re going for then you can’t go wrong with this familiar woodland gem, Erythronium 'Lilac Wonder' (also known as 'Dog’s Tooth Violet'). Shade loving and naturalising, this sweet little plant is brilliant at bringing a dull space to life, enjoying its big moment in spring when it shoots out dainty reflexed purple flowers above a neat clump of attractive mottled foliage. Every year this perennial will come back to delight you again and again!
Erythronium is the perfect low-maintenance plant for filling those little gaps in a shady spot, nestled underneath shrubs or trees or in a woodland area. Erythronium 'Lilac Wonder' has won a prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its reliable garden performance, giving a long lasting and beautiful display and expecting very little in return.
