Trillium grandiflorum
GREAT WHITE TRILLIUM
The White Trillium is an ideal plant for d and woodland gardens! Flowers are large, about 4", and perfectly white. As the flower matures, it takes on a slight pink hue! The Trillium is easy to grow, and likes d areas with regular moisture. Plants slowly form large drifts, or colonies. The Trillium has been chosen as the official Ontario Floral Emblem flower. Please see the germination information below, as Trillium seeds require a cold period before they can grow.
The 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).

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.
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. These seeds require a period of cold. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 2 weeks. They will not grow yet. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. The seeds should germinate within 3 months, though if no growth appears, the seeds can be returned to the fridge for a second cold period (3 months). If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
