Trillium chloropetalum is a perennial herbaceous plant that blooms from late February to early or mid April. Like other Trillium species the leaves and flowers are grouped in threes. It is clump-forming and prefers a shady woodland habitat. Seeds are very limited supply.
Trillium leaves contain calcium oxalate crystals and crystal raphide, and should not be consumed by humans.
These seeds are available for a very limited time (see below).
Type: Very hardy perennial
Height: 30-40 cm, 12-16"
Location: Part shade or shade
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Seeds per packet: 5
Availability: These seeds are available for a very limited time. If these seeds are showing out of stock, we strongly recommend joining our wait list, as these seeds have a very shorty viability window (so we don't offer them for very long) and this helps ensure you get the freshest seeds possible! If they are available, they will only be available for a short time.
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. First keep them at room temperature for 6 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. Then cover them with plastic to retain moisture, and then place in a fridge for 8 weeks. Then bring them to a cool room (approximately 12C, 54F) for 8 weeks for germination. They may be growing at this point, though often they need a second cold period. If they are not growing cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for another 6-8 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the second cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool (12-15C, 54-59F) room for them to germinate. This double cold period is not always needed, but sometimes necessary, and is very normal for these seeds. Germination is in 30-90 days after the second warming period.
