Erythronium dens-canis, commonly known as dog's tooth violet or dogtooth lily, is a charming perennial bulb appreciated for its delicate, nodding flowers and attractive mottled leaves. Native to woodland areas of Europe, this species produces dainty, bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink or white with yellow centres, resembling the shape of a dog's tooth. Blooming in early to mid-spring, Erythronium dens-canis adds a naturalistic charm to shaded garden borders, woodland gardens, or rockeries. Its low-growing habit and ornamental foliage make it an ideal choice for naturalizing beneath trees or shrubs.

To plant and care for Erythronium dens-canis, choose a site with partial shade to full shade and moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Plant bulbs in early autumn, approximately 5-8 cm deep and spacing them 10-15 cm apart. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain even soil moisture throughout the growing season, especially during periods of drought. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Allow the foliage to naturally wither and die back after flowering to allow the bulbs to store energy for the next season's growth. With proper care, Erythronium dens-canis will multiply over time, forming charming colonies that enhance the beauty of your garden each spring.
