November Fall is in full swing. Cool to cold nights, crystal clear days, the smell of damp leaves. This is the perfect time to do all things outdoors and remember, FALL IS THE BEST TIME to plant most perennials! So plant our November feature, Trilliums, now so that they are established and ready to bloom beautifully next spring. Our Trilliums are entirely nursery propagated. On day one, their seeds were sown in nursery beds, and after AT LEAST SEVEN YEARS of growing and transplanting into successively larger pots, they have all flowered at least once! They are nice, big, well-rooted rhizomes that will transplant easily into your gardens. Your main problem is choosing between the four species we have. All are easy to grow and prefer shade and good soil that is slightly basic except for T. sulcatum which wants it acidic. They can only be shipped when dormant generally meaning now through March or so. But best time to PLANT is NOW through late fall rather than spring. |
