Hello annew

They are easy growers
Don't buy dry bulbs most dry bulbs are wild collected  Always plants. 
Best are flowering plants then you know what you buy
its like snowdrops
plant the rhizomes horizontal in a rich soil shady or half shady place
at least the hottest part of the day don't let them dry out and watch out for snails
once a flower stem is half eaten it breaks down and a year is lost
pollinate the flower and put the seeds later near the parents
good combinations with Polygonatum , Maianthemum and Disporum

Would growers of T nivale please advise me on suitable growing conditions?

It's a lime lover, and is very prone to depredations by slugs in my garden. I grow mine in pots (the slugs still damage them), and give each pot a generous pinch of lime once a year. If I'm repotting, I add extra lime to the potting mix.

It's native to quite cold regions, so may do better sited in a fairly cold microclimate if you have one. Many trillium species are native to the southeast States where the climate is on the warm side; not so T. nivale.

Be careful not to confuse T. rivale and T. nivale via typographical errors.

Hi Anne,

My plants of T. nivale grow quite happily in my native acidic soil, out in the open garden under a deciduous Magnolia tree... no need for lime soils nor pot growing.  I have numerous "in situ" sown seedlings of T. nivale coming along, at various stages of maturity, growing in the general area; all receiving full sun until the late-leafing magnolia adds a bit of shade.

The species is native to Eastern-Central USA, not the "banana-belt" southern portions of USA, but Missouri, Kentucky, and Virginia are certainly not the coldest regions of the USA.  Try it in a spot with more spring sun, that's what it gets in nature.

By the way Anne, you look so bundled up for winter in your avatar, maybe consider a warming-up spring avatar ;D

By the way Anthony
did the petals of your Trillium kurabayashii elongate
or did they stay the same length as on the picture

OK, here are the first Trillium I've ever bloomed.  I am very happay.  Both I received last Summer from Göte and they have done extremely well.  I received other plants later in the season, as is the typical shipping time for Trillium, and none of these has come up, although I assume they are still there, only resting a year.  For me, this is a clear statement from the plants, they want to be transplanted right after going dormant, not later in the Autumn.
Göte, a huge thank you!
I'll post the T. luteum and the T. flexipes hybrid in a few days, as they are fully open.


You are very welcome. Your pictures are reward enough. Actually I sent them BEFORE going dormat did I not?? (I do not remember  :() Mine are just showing above the soil surface. You garden in the tropics  ;D ;D.
Cheers

Trillium grandiflorum roseum has been in flower a couple days, but the sun came out today to show off the flowers.  The gusting wind is relentless today, so these shots were "live motion" pics... just shot a bunch until I got a couple in focus ;D

Attending a NARGS chapter meeting and plant auction a couple weeks ago, a 1-stemmed plant of this went for $50 :o ::)
