Trillium (Wood Lily) at Digging Dog
Including Trillium luteum and Trillium grandiflorum Snowy White
Trillium
Wood Lily
A sure sign that spring has settled in, these demure treasures are at home in cool woodland settings. Soon after their enchanting flowers fade, the handsome foliage disappears as well. Trilliums are long-lived, prefer humus-rich soil with ample moisture, and make admirable companions for Asarum, Toad Lilies, and ferns.
Trillium albidum
Sweet Trillium
Hobnobbing in moist sites from San Francisco to southern Oregon, this native is robust and showy. Large subtly fragrant pearl white flowers are perched atop a dark green cushion of dappled, wavy edged spring foliage that rises on tall, often multiple, stems. In early summer, prominent purple berries keep our interest sparked.
Blooms mid-March – late April. Size: 16" high x 10"–12" wide; hardy to zone 6. Trillium albidum (P-1622) SOLD OUT!

x hybridus and Asarum caudatum.

Trillium sessile
Its common name belies the simple elegance of this rarely offered Missouri woodlander. Three evenly spaced broad leaves forge a handsome platform for 2 in. high maroon blooms, which are mottled in shades of green, purple and white. Defined by 3 erect petals, the unique stalkless flowers gracefully embellish a clump-forming base, whose thick underground rhizomes will slowly colonize if left undisturbed.
Blooms April – May. Size: 6"–12" high x 6"–12" wide; hardy to zone 4. Trillium sessile (P-0681) Each $7.75
