Trilliums in the NW
Reviewed By: Diana (Salem , OR)
My father alway grew Trilliums, granted he had a green thumb. But these guys can really do well here in the northwest given the proper care. And such a sweet addition to your garden!

Purple Trillium
Reviewed By: Barbara Layman (White House, TN)
We live in upper Middle TN, approximately 25 miles south of the Kentucky state line. This plant grows profusely in our wooded backyard. Natural woodlands including total leaf cover. They come up in 'colonies' 3-8 plants in each area.

purple trillium
Reviewed By: Jerry (Murray, WA)
Stephanie is correct. I contacted Gurneys some time ago to let them know that the picture is T. rivale. What they sell is T. erectum or whatever they can get from the growers - maybe even T. cuneatum, T. sessile or other eastern species. Their grandiflorum and luteum are correct to name and what they offer. I believe they offer row-run rhizomes. T. rivale would cost much more than $4.95 each.
