One of the stars in our shade garden is this Chinese Trillium relative. We find this eminently superior to the typical Paris polyphylla typically offered. These are seedlings from our garden plants which are marvels of vegetative increase. The 3 bulbs we originally planted 8 years ago have now increased to over 50 stems up to 40" tall with elegant flowers and showy orange fruit. Hope these kids have learned something from their folks.If you are ordering this as a dormant bare root bulb, it is fine to plant it outside now (assuming the ground isn't frozen etc) as these have been growing outside here at the nursery. Three inches deep should suffice and if you live in harsh winter climates, a good mulch will help. These come up late in the spring for us - later than other forms - so don't worry too much. They like an acid soil, moist yet draining, and we expect that if you can grow Trilliums successfully, you should succeed with this one. Zone 6 for sure and probably into zone 5 although we have no personal experience with it in those regions.

A Hinkley collection of this very collectible Trillium relative from China. The 7-12 narrow leaves are arranged like spokes on a wheel and have short deep purple petioles. The flowers are the typical Paris expression of atypical nonconformity with lots of green and spidery filaments. We have not keyed this yet to verify the name but it is quite rhizomatous and is not of the widespread polyphylla clan.

This is one of those plants you can just feel good about planting, endemic to Idaho and vulnerable in its natural habitat, now is certainly a good time to bolster its ex-situ presence! Plus its a great pollinator plants and pretty cute to boot. Stalks of pretty pale purple flowers and nicely feathered leaves. Great addition to the pollinator meadows that are so rightfully vogue right now. Not commonly cultivated so may be hardy past what we are recommending here

An Arizona collection of what seems to be the true plant of this rare-in-cultivation Southwestern Mock Orange which makes an excellent rock garden or low-water subject with its dense shrubby habit and extremely fragrant white flowers that smell like grape soda. The foliage holds its own as well with a mint-green softness provided by the minute pale hairs which coat each leaf that one could in this case call either peach fuzz or mock-orange fuzz, and which require no need of razoring. 

This plant smells so good in flower that it should be illegal or barring that, taxable. This could help with budget shortfalls because it is frankly addictive. One sniff and the response is "Ooh! Do you have this for sale?" Southwest native remarkable hardy with grape koolaid fragrant white flowers in masses. 

A note on identity: This and other pink blotched small-leaved Philadelphus with an effusive odor are likely P. maculatus despite their having been widely distributed as P. madrensis by us and others in the past
