How to Sow and Plant


Sow seeds in fall or early spring about ¼ inch deep in well‑prepared humus‑rich soil. Keep soil cool and moist for best germination, which may take several weeks.

How to Grow

Plant in partial to full shade in rich, moist, well‑drained soil. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Protect from direct hot sun and mulch lightly to retain moisture

Tips


Be patient—trilliums may take time to establish and reach mature flowering size. Avoid disturbing roots once planted.
