TRILLIUM KURABAYASHII

Description

An uncommon plant from northern California and south west Oregon, this is one of the most sought-after west coast of America species. It has mottled, ornamental leaves, and bright flowers ranging from reddish-purple to beige. One of the largest trilliums, these vigorous specimens can soon expand into clumps that can reach up to nearly two feet in height.

Sowing Advice

For best results, sow seeds as soon as you receive them in a cool place onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. These seeds can be very slow indeed to germinate, and sometimes they wait for spring before emerging whenever they are sown. Do not use any artificial heat in an attempt to germinate them as it may simply disrupt their germination mechanism. Please be very patient, and do not discard the seed pan, no matter how long it takes for germination to occur.
