Trillium rugelii
Trillium rugelii is a fairly rare East Coast native, hailing from NC to Alabama. In appearance, Trillium rugelii is similar to the northern grown, but heat intolerant Trillium cernuum. In mid- to late-April, the nodding white flowers have contrasting purple floral parts. Although in the wild Trillium rugelii occurs in moist, rich forests, but it has displayed exceptional garden performance, and has multiplied very well compared to many of the more commonly grown pedicellate trilliums. This offering represents seed-propagated plants from our original clump, planted in 1994.
