Trillium

A newly described (2013) species found in..............wait for it.............Tennessee in just three locations. Incredibly rare and a very exciting find. These are seed grown from our plants, specimens used to describe the species and do not impact the wild population. Small yellow flowers with a maroon base. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Offering. These are likely not flowering size. The good news is that they increase quite well vegetatively - we were pleasantly surprised when we lifted our plants and saw how much they increased.

This pale yellow Trillium is an attractive species in the sessile flowered group. Nicely mottled leaves are especially pronouced in spring becoming more muted as the season progresses. A shade garden without Trilliums is just a yawning chasm of emptiness and need.

A selection by Piping Tree Gardens Nursery of this dwarf species from Alabama where spring starts early and so does this phenotype of the species. The March flowers are delightful little imps and why not get the party started a little early, we always say. Ultra-cute rhizomatous clumping species to just a few inches high with irrepressible perky upward-facing scented white flowers.

Sweet Wakerobin. One of the best Trilliums you can grow, this has some of the largest flowers in the genus and the news just gets better because these flowers are not only big but deep red. Stunning, hanging ornaments. We seldom offer these which we have grown from seed but every so often we have to let a few go as proof of progress for our therapist that we are managing our plant hoarding dysfunction.
