The Seed Exchange

HAVE; Trillium luteum seed

15 years ago

Seed is now ripening and will be ready to harvest in 2-3 weeks. This is an exceptionally tall variety of T. luteum with the plants growing to 18". I would like to trade for freshly harvested seed of other trillium species. Note: If you are not familiar with growing trilliums from seed, be forewarned. It can take 7-10 years for plants to reach maturity and flowering!

I'm definitely interested in Trillium sessile and recurvatum. They wouldn't ship well in this weather though. I'd wait till fall. Let me know if you still have them then. I have tons of native sun plants and a few woodland ones.

Case claims, in his reference book on trillium, that green seed will sometimes germinate without going through the winter cold period. He also notes that mature seed germinates the first year but that the growth occurs underground so that the seedlings are not visible. I received T. ovatum seed from another GW member and got a pretty good stand of seedlings after one year but T. albidium did not emerge this spring so it will take the full two years. You may want to consider putting a baggy over ripening seed pods about this time of year to prevent their abcising and being scattered by the ants.
