Trillium 2018

[Michael J Campbell]

Yes, I should have a few but they are only starting to flower, very late this year.

Peppa, they are growing in humus rich soil in semi-shade, not too wet. This one stand under branches from a tree (from our neighbour, leaves appear very late), so it is a very cool position in summer and now the Trillium gets a lot of light.

Another plant is standing in a more shading and more acid position and flowers always much later (about a month), the place is also more wet. This plant doesn’t grow as good as the other one. 

Once they are settled they dislike removing.

Thanks Herman for your tip! I have grown nivale from seed and still only have a few seedlings, so I will baby them in pots for the time being. Hopefully they will flower before too long.

Trillium hibbersonii flowers for the first time.

Rudi, are you sure it is hibbersonii? It seems to me more a form of rivale.

Trillium chloropetalum var. giganteum


Trillium maculatum

[ruweiss]

Herman, my knowledge about Trilliums is rather limited. I got the seeds with this name from a friend who
collected them on Vancouver Island.

It looks like T. rivale to me too - rather a nice one, with the pink markings.

Six years after sowing,  Trillium kurabayashii flowers for the first time. Fortunately, it appears to be the true species - hereabouts, Tr. chloropetalum or hybrids are usually sold as Tr. kurabayashii.

Vancouver Island - if the seeds were wild collected, then it's T. ovatum forma hibbersonii, which is found there.
T. rivale is not found there - its distribution is the Siskiyou Mountains, SW Oregon, Klamath Mountain Ranges.

My trillium hibbersonii is just through the ground but is usually much shorter in flower (almost stemless). I have it in a North facing deep raised bed. Perhaps  it is taller as its in a pot perhaps in an alpine house. Will post a picture of the plant I call hibbersonii when it decides to flower. Its always later due to being cool and North facing
