Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We are delighted to be able to offer some spectacular dark maroon purple forms of sulcatum. These are the real deal and some of the showiest trilliums we have ever grown (sulcatum from the type locality is a rather small flowered thing hardly worth growing) Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.
Blooms: spring, dark red flowers are held high above trifoliate foliage. A great clumper, combines well with Erythronium, Epimedium, and Beesia
