Trillium albidum, given to me as a little offshoot. First flower (after 3 years) - hooray!

Very hard to establish trilliums in this garden; too hot and dry most of the time. However, this Trillium grandiflorum planted under an old apple tree 18 months ago seems OK.

Which reminds me that I never finished my account of our trip to Ontario last May; note to self, get on with it!

I've had good germination from Trillium rivale seed kindly sent to me last year by Claire Cockroft. I thought I had read somewhere on the Forum, but can't find it, that it would now be best to plant the whole potful in the garden? Could someone clarify for me please.

with my trillium rivale seedlings, I grow them on in pots until they have three leaves.
I do not let them get dry at all & occasionally feed with half strength tomerite.
If they need repotting I just move the whole potful into a larger pot & keep growing on.
In the third year they will start to flower, they can then happily cope in the garden.

Thank you from me, too. It is encouraging to know that they could flower already when they are three years old. :)
Would you grow other species also like that, in the same pot until flowering?
And wonderful pictures, they show the differences so well.

Me too, but I sowed them in a seed tray so will have to prick them out Doh!

Not all trillium flower so soon, albidum & kurabayashii are about 5 - 6 years flowering from seed.
But I do the same with the two mentioned above & just keep moving the whole lot into larger pots when necessary.

Yes - we do that, moving en masse to a larger pot, as Mike says, or  often  in a fish-box  trough if we happen to have a lot of seed, or using one trough for different lots of seed. They can grow undisturbed for a few years and this seems to make good strong plants.  If they are very lucky, they might get some feed after a couple of years!

Thank you Mike and Maggi. :)
A while ago I made a raised bed for my seedlings (the oldest only one leaf, this is their second year), and planted them just as a clump without the pot, so it is good to know that they can grow there longer, and I don't need to worry about pricking out the seedlings.
T.rivale which has germinated a month ago is still inside, and I will have to think where I will plant that clump in the summer. I'll baby them for now. :)
