Trillium flexipes, known as the nodding wakerobin, bent trillium, or drooping trillium, is found from Minnesota to Ohio, south to Tennessee, New York, Pennsylvania, Alabama, and other states. It is an endangered species in Ontario and threatened in North Carolina.
T. flexipes is a perennial herbaceous plant that spreads by means of underground rhizomes. In northern areas, the flower tends to hang, while central and southern strains have a large erect flower. The flower petals are normally white but can be reddish or maroon. The fruit is rosy red to purplish and fragrant of ripe fruit.
Rare and limited supply!
Type: Very hardy perennial
Height: 18"
Location: Part sun or shade
Hardiness zones: 4-7
Seeds per packet: 10
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.
The leaves contain calcium oxalate crystals and crystal raphide, and should not be consumed by humans.
