My flowering Trillium last May.
Trillium grandiflorum was bought couple of years ago from Dryad, as was also red T.chloropetalum, picture in low morning light.
T.grandiflorum 'Flore Pleno' is from Ruksans, and T.chloropetalum var giganteum 'Album' from Estonia.
T.erectum was grown from seeds, and I have other seedlings growing but not yet flowering size.
My own plants are very shy to produce seeds, only T.erectum and the big white T.chloropetalum have had seeds so far.

You´ve really got an enchanting garden, Leena! This year surprisingly many of my trilliums produced seed, whereas in other years they scarcely do. Maybe the very warm period starting in April encouraged them to do so.

yes, your garden is very beautiful ... trillium seems happy.
Do you ever discover spontaneous trillium seedlings Marriette?

This year I discovered quite a lot around one plant, the first time I´m sure they are seedlings. A friend of mine grows trillium for over 30 years and found so many seedlings in his not very big garden, that he gave them away by the dozens. These are some I received from him.

Thank you Mariette and Veronique.
Mariette, you got some really nice Trilliums, all flowers are different!
I haven't gotten any self sown seedlings though two years ago I sowed some seeds from the big white one near it, nothing has come up so far, but the ones I sowed in a pot came up this spring.
I've also been wondering about my Trillium luteum, why it doesn't produce seeds, and it flowers so late in May, that there haven't been any frost at that time. A while ago I read in Trillium book that it likes to grow in alkaline soil, and mine grows in acid soil, maybe that is the reason. I've been thinking of moving it to a alkaline bed next year.

Leena,
My 3 T. luteum never set seeds either. I would love to know why!

If hand-pollinated, trilliums reliably set seed with me. Seedlings in the borders are prone to slug-damage in my garden, so may be vanished before noticed.
