Van Zyverden Woodland Plant Trillium Grandiflorum- Set of 3 Roots

Van Zyverden Woodland Plant Trillium Grandiflorum- Set of 3 Roots Trilliums are a genus of perennial flowering plants native to the temperate regions of North American and Asia. They are known as low growing woodland wildflowers and flower in spring. They are easy to grow, requiring little care but you will need to have the appropriate conditions. Trilliums are not a good choice for the desert southwest due to its drought conditions, unless special arrangements have been made. They are a sight to behold not only in their native habitat but also in the garden. They are recognized by their whorl of three leaves and showy flowers, in fact nearly all parts of the plant come in threes. • Plant woodland plants to assure their survival • Perfect companion for similar woodland wonders like ferns • Plant under trees or unused wooded areas About This Variety: Trillium grandiflorum is a graceful perennial that is one of the most familiar and beloved of the spring woodland wildflowers in eastern North America. It is native to rich woods and thickets from Quebec to Ontar- io to Minnesota south to Alabama and Georgia. Leaves, petals and sepals all come in groups of three. Growing Instructions: Trilliums demand rich, slightly acid, woodsy soil that never dries out so some care is required in choosing a site. Care Tip: In order for Trillium to thrive in the home garden, one must mimic their native habitat by providing moist, well draining soil enriched with organic matter. Once established, they require little maintenance or care. Exposure: Partial shade Height: Grows 6-12” tall Spacing: Plant 12” apart, 2’’ deep Blooms: Spring USDA Zones: Hardy in USDA zones 3-9 Van Zyverden, Inc. • www.vanzyverden.com [email protected] Follow us on: 113969 IS2016.

FishWildlife & Wildlife Service Service Texas Trillium Arlington, Texas Ecological Services Field Office Texas Trillium Trillium texanum Description Texas trillium belongs to the Liliaceae (lily) family and are rhizomatous herbs with unbranched stems. Trillium plants produce no true leaves or stems aboveground. Texas trillium has solitary white to pale pink flowers on a short stalk, situated above three bracteal leaves. It is the only trillium species in Texas with numerous stomata (specialized cells which open and close to regulate gas and water movement into/out of the plant) on Trillium pusillum var. texanum - (Photo Credit- Jason Singhurst) upper and lower surfaces of its bracts. Longevity is unknown, but one study fern (Woodwardia areolata), and showed that white trillium (Trillium green rein orchid (Platanthera grandiflorum) lives at least 30 years clavellata). based on estimates calculated from the number of constrictions on rhizomes. Conservation Although not listed as endangered or Habitat threatened by the State of Texas, Texas trillium habitat is characterized Texas trillium is ranked as a G2 by a shaded, forest understory. It (imperiled) by NatureServe and is flowers before full leaf-out of over ranked as a Sensitive Species by the story species and before being United States Forest Service.

Woodland/Shade Gardening by Jimi Blake
V OLUME 24, I SSUE 4 O CTOBER— DECEMBER 2015 Piedmont Chapter North American Rock Garden Society The Trillium Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, NC Woodland/Shade Gardening By Jimi Blake Woodland plants are the brave plants that burst into flower in the spring lifting my spirit and encouraging me to start back to gardening in Hunting Brook, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. These plants are so important in the garden to extend the season of interest and brighten up a shady area. An expanse of deciduous woodland is not necessary to create a woodland garden, though it is a dream situation for this purpose but that shaded area in the corner of the garden where you dump the grass mowings can take on a whole new life, or by simply pruning a shrub to let more light under it will allow for your mini woodland garden. The other type of shade in lots of gardens is the shade creat- ed by walls, which is also suitable for growing woodland plants. In the wild, these plants flower under the dappled shade of the deciduous trees before the leaves shade out the woodland floor during the summer months. Generally the woodland plants finish flowering by early to mid sum- mer and form a ground cover of various shades of green. These plants are called spring ephemerals. Remember the secret of a good woodland garden is the preparation of the soil, as these areas can be quite dry in the summer with the roots of the trees or shrubs taking up the moisture. When I started the woodland gardens in Hunting Brook I cleared the weeds by hand and then dug over the soil and incorporated a mixture of leaf mould or garden compost, and very well rotted farmyard manure creating a delicious mixture for these woodland gems to grow well in.

Large-Flowered Trilliums Coming up in Spring in Our Childhoo
Large-flowered Trillium or Common Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) Large-flowered Trilliums Coming Up in Spring In our childhood the woods in late May were full of hundreds of large, waxy white flowers that covered the forest floor. Grandma in her German diary called these trilliums “wild lilies” and also commented that on May14th and 22nd in 1927 and again on May 22nd in 1940 these flowers were numerous and in full bloom. (Freckman, 1994) gave the earliest blooming dates as April 24th. Large-flowered Trillium Bud Opening Today, with more houses and lawns in the country, and fewer undisturbed woodlots those visions of white are less frequently seen. In addition, the White-tailed Deer population has steadily increased and their appetite for tasty trilliums has served to eliminate many stands of this beautiful plant. This is especially troublesome because once the leaves and flowers are plucked, the plant is likely to die. It can no longer produce food to send down to the roots so that it can come back another year. It still grows quite abundantly on the sloping bank along Billings Avenue in the Town of Medford, Wisconsin. Some sources say that deer do not like to graze on steep banks or inclines so that may be why those plants have escaped. We have a patch of trilliums that has grown larger each year in our lawn. Recently we have had to protect these trilliums from the deer that could wipe out the entire patch in a single night. Sometimes seeds from those plants, possibly transported by ants, have grown into new plants in the front lawn.

Trillium, As an Indicator of Deer Density Hanover Biodiversity Committee October, 2017
[DRAFT v. 10] Trillium, as an indicator of deer density Hanover Biodiversity Committee October, 2017 Rationale for this Report Members of the lily family, such as Trillium and Clintonia, are among the favored foods of deer; 30 species of Trillium are found East of the Mississippi. The decline of these plants is mentioned in multiple publications1 as one key indicator of deer over-abundance. Red Trillium (Trillium erectum), also called ‘wake Robin’, found in the north-east and is (or was) fairly common in many Hanover forested neighborhoods. We suggest that monitoring this plant where it is (or once was) common demonstrates that deer density remains unsustainably high and future monitoring of the plant can help determine both the neighborhood density of deer and also serve as an indicator of change in deer density. Monitoring for this plant is easy, with just a small bit of training about the process. This report suggests a serious decline in biodiversity in Hanover over the past 15 years, as indicated by impact on red Trillium at three sites. We believe that with a focused increase in hunting pressure, this and other declining native plants might recover. Red Trillium is a frequent member of typical ‘rich mesic forests2’ plant communities found in Hanover; other plants often found nearby are Virginia waterleaf, blood root, wild ginger, foam flower, blue cohosh, and certain other members of the lily family. Besides aggressive deer browse, these communities are also threatened in varying degrees by invasive plants: garlic mustard, Dame’s rocket, wild parsnip, wild chervil and forget-me-not as well as the usual woody invaders.

Spring Ephemerals)
1 Sex Lives of Woodland Herbs Spring in the forest begins with a smorgasbord of flowering herbs. Hillsides become carpeted in white, pink, and maroon as trillium flowers open. The yellow bell-shaped flowers and mottled leaves of trout lily blaze in the April sunlight. Yellow, white, and blue violets flower in profusion along trails and creeks. Squirrel corn (Dicentra canadensis) flowers flavor the air with a sweet aroma (Figure Spring Ephemerals). The early woodland herbs, or spring ephemerals, spring forth quickly with leaves, flowers, and fruits and then wither just as summer heats up. Their strategy is to perform energy demanding activities quickly while sunlight abounds under the bare forest trees. In a few short weeks, many of these perennials will shift from a cryptic underground phase to a robust plant with conspicuous flowers only to return to hiding by July. The above ground growth phase is never prolonged. April trillium flowers progress to fruits and seeds in late July. Trout lily (Erythronium americanum), on the other hand, has one of the shortest above ground periods. They send both leaves and flowers to the surface in early April, then six weeks later the plant senesces as the fruit capsule lies quietly on forest soil. Special contractile roots, common among lily members, pull the expanding trout lily corm further beneath the soil. The large, colorful spring ephemeral flowers advertise their pollen and nectar rewards to early flies and bees in the forest. Insects are efficient and abundant pollinators on warm sunny days in the spring forest. Insect pollinators feed intensively with deliberate flights between flowers.
