The White Trillium is an ideal plant for shaded and woodland gardens! Flowers are large, about 4", and perfectly white. The Trillium is easy to grow, and likes shaded areas with regular moisture. Plants slowly form large drifts, or colonies. The Trillium has been chosen as the official Ontario Floral Emblem flower.
The White Trillium is native to eastern North America, from northern Quebec to the southern parts of the United States through the Appalachian Mountains into northernmost Georgia and west to Minnesota. There are also several populations in Nova Scotia, Maine, southern Illinois, and Iowa.
Seeds sustainably harvested in Northumberland County, Ontario.
Type: Very hardy perennial
Height: 14"
Location: Part sun or shade
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Seeds per packet: 5
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.
