Trillium

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.

Volcano is perhaps the finest example of one of the finest species of trilliums, taking the already difficult to improve on formula of T. chloropetalum and adorning it with saturated blood red flowers. Unfortunately it is extremely difficult to lay hands on and even our illustrious rare plant powers have none to spare. However these seedlings of Volcano could help you lead you part of the way to the euphoria of Volcano. These are not yet of flowering size so whether the exquisite flowers have been maintained in the genetic mixing pot is still to be determined. What we can vouch for are the incredible leaves on these plants, easily rivalling or surpassing their parent, deliciously dappled with silver and olive, they should serve to tide your lust until the grand reveal of the flowers.

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.
