Schoenolirion croceum, known by the common names yellow sunnybell,[1] sunnybells and swamp candle,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the Agave subfamily. It is native to the Southeastern United States from Texas to North Carolina.[3][4] It is found on moist rock outcrops, in wet pinelands and in habitats that are very wet in the spring but dry in the summer. In middle Tennessee , it is found in fen-like areas in cedar glades, fed by spring water. Further south, it inhabits wet pine savannas and bogs.[2][5]
It produces yellow flowers in the spring.
