I have oodles and oodles of these trout lilies. I have a bunch that are in a path and should be moved. I will trade multiples of these for different arisaemas. You tell me how many you think is appropriate for a trade. These will each be blooming sized corms with the 2 leaves attached and the bloom attached. I checked the NYS list of protected plants and these are not on any of their lists: http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/15522.html From 2010 Misc From 2010 Misc Good info on trout lilies here: http://www.wildaboutgardening.org/en/features/section5/trout_lily/trout_lily.htm

Here in southern Ontario the dogtoothed violet aka trout lily grows wild. My backyard woodland plot is chocked full of them... literally a carpet of dogtoothed violet/trout lily and Blue Cohash. Last year we had a dense carpet of both (the Blue Cohash is taller and doesn't disturb the trout lilies. But we put a fence in in the summer and all the foot traffic from building the fence affected the cohash a LOT. This spring the trout lilies and the cohash are much more sparse and not the "carpet" we had in previous years but we are confident that with time and care to keep the kids out of the woodland area that it will come back. It's also been extremely cold this spring which seems to be having an effect as well...lots of plant green but not so much flowering going on. Barb s/w Ontario

Have not grown them from seed, but they do spread by seed very easily. I planted just a few plants years ago and have them everywhere over a large area...windborn, I think, but maybe ants, a la Trilliums and Sanguinarias. Also, they are very deep rooted, so if you decide to move some of what your currently have, be careful and dig deep. Otherwise, you are not going to get the corms. You need to work with a wholesale nursery if you want lots of plants at a discounted price. Otherwise, cheap plants are usually dug from the wild, and you don't want to encourage that. Check internet sites. The list is too long to put here.
