| Description: A shy bloomer, the trout lily has more flowers in sunnier locations. Some gardeners feel that the bulbs sink in a natural process, and planting on a small flat rock will prevent this and result in more blooms. The leaves are beautifully mottled with brown spots, resembling the pattern on a trout. |
