Hello, Zygadenus (Endlicher 1836) is an orthographic variant on the original Zigadenus (Michaux 1803). All the Toxicoscordion (Rydberg 1903) were lumped into that genus without much inspection. But, if you follow Zomlefer and Judd (Novon, 2002) most of the Zigadenus have been placed back into Toxicoscordion. The only 'true' Zigadenus species is Z.glabberimus which has a rhizome while the Toxicoscordion species all have bulbs. Secondly, I would check the identification of your plant when it blooms. Z.nuttalli is a mid-western native and it seems unlikely that it would be in widespread cultivation, but some US natives are easier to find outside the country for some reason. I see it on many seedlist in Norway, and Sweden. Either way it is a great plant and I have seen it in a few locations around here.
