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. Here is a link that might be useful: Trout lilies at Maryland Native Plant Society

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

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).
