Description
The Trout Lily gets its name from the spots on its leaves resembling trout markings. It blooms during early April at about the same time as the woodland violets and is a perennial wildflower. They love wet areas near small streams and creeks in wooded areas with some sun. They fill me with joy each spring when I find them along with violets growing free, a nice reminder of the sweet goodness still to be found in nature. They are also called dog tooth violets, or fawn lilies, and there is a white variety which can be purchased in seed for your garden as a spring ground cover. The white variety is very rare in the wild.
