Steve, beautiful Trillium rivale. Here I only have white forms and seedlings.

More lovely trilliums Herman
You and others here show fine clumps but my plants bulk up extremely slowly, even after many years.  Why might this be?  Planting depth?

Ashley, my Trilliums stand in rich humus soil. Some Trilliums like a bit lime so I added some tufa in the soil. The clump sometimes consist of several seedlings in one group.
Feeding in March and July: NPK (Mg) 6-4-10 (2) and NK 2-20

Thanks Herman.  I'll try some inorganic feeding to supplement leaf mulches.

Claire, beautiful Trillium's. They seem to like your garden.

[Claire Cockcroft]

This year has been the best for trilliums.  I gave them some fertilizer a while ago, something I rarely do.  It seems to have paid off.

Claire, your double T.grandiflorum is so big! Maybe I need to feed mine also more. It has had two flowers now for three years, and I don't think there are more coming this year either.
Trillium nivale seedlings, they are small but I like them a lot. They came up in the beginning of April and they are still flowering. It's been relatively cold April and they love it (for me the freezing nights could stop now, I worry and cover my T.chloropetalum plants every night because they are already soon opening their flowers and I have read that they are not so cold tolerant, so far so good).
