Trillium chloropetalum
£ 14.25
This item will be released 1 July, 2024.
Trillium chloropetalum has upright maroon-red flowers which are borne directly upon its beautifully mottled leaves – these will continue to look good long after the flowers are over. The species is a Californian native and grows to a height of up to 35 cm. It flowers through April and May, and forms strong clumps given time, and is a very persistent grower – in our experience 25 years in one position is not uncommon.
Supplied as healthy rhizomes from mid July until November.
No longer available for pre-ordering
Description
Trillium chloropetalum has upright maroon-red flowers which are borne directly upon its beautifully mottled leaves – these will continue to look good long after the flowers are over. The species is a Californian native and grows to a height of up to 35 cm. It flowers through April and May, and forms strong clumps given time, and is a very persistent grower – in our experience 25 years in one position is not uncommon.
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 chloropetalum rhizomes, please see our Trillium Planting Advice sheet.
Our Trilliums are propagated and grown by Twelve Nunns Nursery, a specialist nursery based in South Lincolnshire. 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. Our Trilliums have been featured in a couple of publications as follows: –
