We offer our full range of Trilliums for despatch in the dormant season which is from mid July until November. They are sent as freshly lifted, healthy Trillium rhizomes with live roots in moist packing material. Our rhizomes are at least 4 years old. Given the right situation and soil they should flower after 1 year of planting.
Trilliums enjoy light shade with well-drained soil. The varieties we offer make good garden plants in the UK. To find out more about planting your Trillium sulcatum rhizomes, please see our Trillium Planting Advice sheet.

The parent plants have been either split to produce more plants or hand-pollinated to produce seeds and grown on. None of the plants we supply are from wild stock.
