This question can't be answered until we know which species (or hybrid) of Erythronium Vlad is asking about. Some species are western North American, some are European, some east Asian, and some eastern North American. Each group has its own cultural and climate preferences. Even among the western Americans, there are easy ones (E. tuolumnense) and very demanding ones (E. montanum). If Vlad's friend just wants to grow the commercially available hybrids such as 'Pagoda' and 'Citronella', they are quite easy to grow in summer-dry situations. They are robust plants which increase very fast, thanks to their E. tuolumnense ancestry. In a hot climate, they should be grown in a shady situation.
