Zygadenus

From LoveToKnow Garden

Zygadenus - Plants of the Lily family, not very ornamental for their flowers, which are all greenish-yellow, but their distinct growth makes them worth cultivating in a botanical or a full collection. They are slender bulbous plants with narrow grassy leaves, and tall branching flower-stems, 1 to 4 feet high. Z. Fremonti (also known as Z. glaberrimus, Z. chloranthus, and Z. douglasi) is the largest flowered species. The other kinds are Z. Nuttali and Z. paniculatus. Zygadeni thrive best in a wet peaty border in a shady position protected from cold winds. California.
