Giant White Fawn Lily is a hard-to-find native perennial for woodland settings, or even under fruit trees and other deciduous trees, as its stunning foliage and flower display occurs in late winter to early spring, before the trees have leafed out.
Its beautiful mottled leaves frame the stalk of up to three nodding, lily-shaped creamy-white flowers with elegantly reflexed petals and bright-yellow centers. It’s so-named “fawn” lily due to the fawn-like, strongly marbled, irregular brown markings on the robust basal foliage.
Highly ornamental, it’s especially lovely massed and paired with other native and water-wise shade-loving perennials and ferns. Consider Wild Ginger and Epimedium, evergreen perennials that will cover for this ephemeral beauty when it goes summer dormant.
A fuss-free plant, place it in part shade to shade and well-drained soils. It disappears before the summer heat, so you never have to water once it’s established, and it returns each spring to delight you when the rest of your landscape is still sleeping!
