Trillium albidum is the only trillium characterized by a stalkless white flower. The species is endemic to the western United States, ranging from central California through Oregon to southwestern Washington.
Trillium albidum was first described by John Daniel Freeman in 1975. The specific epithet albidum means "white", a reference to the uniformly white flower color of this distinctive species. It is commonly known as the giant white wakerobin or white toadshade.
Trillium albidum is a perennial herbaceous plant that persists by means of underground rhizomes. There are three large leaf-like bracts arranged in a whorl about a scape that rises directly from the rhizome, growing to 22 to 58 cm (8.5 to 23 in) in height.
The fragrant flower has three lance-shaped green sepals and three wider white (sometimes pink or purple-tinged) petals measuring 4.8 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in) long and 2.2 to 3 cm (1 to 1 in) wide.
These seeds are available for a very limited time (see below).
Type: Very hardy perennial
Height: 14"
Location: Part sun or part 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
