Trilliums are one of my favorite woodland flowers. Here in Kentucky, they are probably not as prolific in their natural locations as they once were but can still be found here and there in undisturbed woodlands. My sister is fortunate to live in one of those places and has allowed me to collect some for my garden. I’ve also purchased some different varieties through mail order and now have a nice, varied little collection. Thank you for doing this video on such a fabulous little plant.
They're bucking the Honeysuckle alright in the upper three counties of the "shoe" thus far, particularly T. sessile. I have a bunch of them. They also handle drought and flood conditions way better than the poor Mayapples😂.
@@thehorti-culturalists make a point to at some point. You know the iconic pictures of English Bluebells in the woods - imagine that but with the more subtle colours of trillium, and usually little streams and creeks around, the scent of rich leaf litter and some little froglets.
They are gorgeous Stephen. I heard you speak on the radio a couple of weeks back about your trilliums. So glad I follow your channel so I could see this beautiful display.
Beautiful art work and yes you have just sold me a trillium when I’m allowed out, although I will be 80 before I get a clump, oh well something to look forward to then I suppose
I have always divided them in winter just as they are moving but do it reluctantly as large clumps take lots of time and they look better that way. Regards Stephen
I thought you were a Horticulturist, but uh… Trillium don’t have leaves but modified leaves called bracts. And don’t have a stem, but that tall stem lookalike is actually an extension of the rhizome
Taxonomists have no SOH ..How about Semitrillium rivale or ...Almostatrillium.R...Notquiteatrillium..Thatsastretchtrillium ...Howmuchwillitcostobeatrillium Watching old Monty Python vids puts one it a mood.
I have a multitude of small but obviously older flowering trilliums growing right in the path of my shitter. I’m quite concerned they could get trampled this summer can they be transplanted very easily?
You should have a look at hellebores coming from Post Office Farm nursery. Quite a lot of their single-petal plants have upright flowers, and they are also breeding a lot of hellebores for foliage (different shapes, colours, and variegation).
Maria Le, as Stephen said, most trilliums are native to North America. There are some that are native to Asia, and those might be the ones you are referring to. But you'll need to be specific, because a number of trilliums are actually native to Virginia. I'm from Indiana; we also have a number that are native here.
@@jeanneclark99 i live in northern Va, trillium grandiflorum is not native to our parts. Perhaps in other parts of the mid-atlantic woodlands it is considered as a spring native wildflower.
Dear Maria, it could well be that a Trillium species not native to your area has gone feral but the same can be said of almost any plant out of its natural habitat . if I didn’t talk about a plant because it is weedy somewhere in the world it would be impossible to discuss almost all plants including my own local indigenous species. Regards Stephen
Here in Michigan, US, it's Trillium grandiflorum we love.
Thanks for watching our Trillium epic!

Just lovely... I grew up with the woods covered in carpets with these. Makes me feel nostalgic!
What a glorious sight that would be!
I’ve been to America several times but never when the Trilliums are in bloom, dam it! regards Stephen

Can you propagate these?

Thanks for finding us!
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for watching!
I watch most of my UA-cam at night. Closed captioning is a really great thing for us night owls.
Great vid, but do you mean 'patience' as they aren't in a plant hospital?! 😃
!!!! YES! Thank you - WORST speller in the world!! Matthew
I'm glad you said it ...LOL
Wish I had a woodland garden to grow these amazing plants. So many interesting plants from North America.
Thanks for watching - they are stunning!
That Pseudotrillium is very desirable.
Aren't I lucky. Regards Stephen
I grow my hellebore in hanging pots--they do very well and I can see right up into the flower faces!
Well done. Regards Stephen
Beautiful plants.🌿
Thanks for watching!

Never too late! Regards Stephen
Hi Stephen, have you any tips on dividing trilliums? I read to do it when they are growing not when they are dormant,
Maureen
I have always divided them in winter just as they are moving but do it reluctantly as large clumps take lots of time and they look better that way. Regards Stephen
Hi again, would love you to do a segment on Dysosma/ Podophyllum. Especially propagating them. Thanks again
Maureen
I thought you were a Horticulturist, but uh… Trillium don’t have leaves but modified leaves called bracts. And don’t have a stem, but that tall stem lookalike is actually an extension of the rhizome
If I was to go into that much detail I would lose the audience but I’m glad I have some pedantic viewers. Regards Stephen
If I purchase and of course plant the trillium bare root, will it still take years to grow? Thanks.
No it will keep growing and flowering but will multiply at its usual slow rate. Regards Stephen
Love them! But kyneton too hot in summer!
Yes!

We are in for a bumpy ride re plant names me thinks but all I feel I can do is hang on and keep up as best as I can.
Think I’m too old for trilliums now 😞
it would give you something to live for! Regards Stephen

They shift well when dormant> Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists thank you - I’m guessing that’s after flowering?
@@part-timephilosopherLol Once the plant has died down after flowering and gone into dormancy, yes.
@@thehorti-culturalists thank you
I also dislike hellebores; never understood the fuss😆
I'm with you - Matthew

Whaat? This is not favorable in VA (USA); its become invasive in our parks 😳 and taking over native habitats.

@@thehorti-culturalists you’re on point! I don’t disagree. 😊 a nuisance in one place may not be in other parts of the world.
