Have:Trout Lily (Dogtooth Violet
Comments (13)Will these be blooming sized corms with the 2 leaves attached? For every trout lily that blooms there are hundreds of one leaf plants, the vast majority of which are sterile and actually never will bloom. Per the link below: Young, sterile plants send up a single leaf and these often grow in dense colonies. is why I'm asking. Most folks do not realize the the vast majority of the one leaf plants are sterile.

Comments (0)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...See MoreTrout Lilies
Comments (1)I bought some late last fall on sale last year, potted them up and they bloomed in the pot this spring. I'll be planting them out in the garden soon and mulch them good for their first real outdoor zone 2 winter. Will let you know next spring if they made it or not ;) Oh gawd, here were already talking fall and winter, this season sure was crappy and fast! Sharon...See MoreTrout Lilies
Comments (14)Even growing from seed takes less than 8 years (6 years and even 5 at a push). Perhaps to get a really decent colony from a handful of transplants? Once the bulbs are of flowering size, depending on fertility and moisture, the colony should double in size every 2-3 years - a daughter bulb can take 3-4 years to reach blooming size- faster if you deadhead to stop energy going into seed. My longest wait was 7 years for martagons (although a percentage was in bloom after 5 years)...and often the first year after transplanting will be a non-blooming year even with mature bulbs. Trilliums were a long wait (and then they hated my soil and conditions)....See MoreEmbothrium
