Sternbergia
Sternbergia lutea
An Old World native also known as Winter Daffodil, Sternbergia offers late-season color as winter approaches.
Often called Winter Daffodil, Fall Daffodil, Lillies-of-the-Field, or Yellow Autumn Crocus, Sternbergia lutea is a rare member of the Amaryllis family. Growing about six to ten inches, they produce crocus-like yellow flowers that often last through the fall. Although not historically associated with Jefferson, they are a precious late-season treat at Monticello.
In Bloom at Monticello is made possible by support from The Richard D. and Carolyn W. Jacques Foundation.
