Erythronium should be planted in September 3 inches deep (or 1 inch deeper in light soil) and 8 inches apart. Erythronium appreciates soil which has had leaf mould and peat dug into it but they dislike being kept out of the ground for long periods of time. Established clumps of Erythronium can be divided in September and replanted immediately. If given ideal conditions the plant may propagate by self-sown seedling.Species
