Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Trillium viridescens is a sessile species with tulip-shaped blooms that are deep red at the base grading into green at the tips sitting on mottled green foliage. If you have a woodland garden you should have trilliums! Native to the Eastern US. Trillium are exquisite plants for the shade garden blooming in early to mid spring with their elegant flowers. They are spring ephemerals that may go dormant by summer. Keep in mind that they may go dormant early in the year they are first planted and could sulk a bit in their second year before settling in for beautiful displays for years to come.

An unusual western sessile species from the Missouri Okalahoma border regions, flowers tend to be bicolored with a dark purple base shading to green at the top. Solid blackish purple and pure green forms also occur; it has proven easy and long-lived for us (the Europeans have a hard time with it) Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.
