Lily-of-the-field Care

S. lutea is a bulbous perennial with yellow goblet-shaped flowers in autumn. Foliage is dark green and strap-shaped. If your gardening efforts are limited by red clay soil in your landscape, consider growing Sternbergia lutea, commonly called winter daffodil, fall daffodil, lily of the field, and autumn crocus (not to be confused with the Colchicum autumn crocus). When growing winter daffodil, you can spend less time amending the soil and more time working on other aspects of the garden.
