Woodland Wildflowers

Below find our offerings of eastern American woodlanders; this year we are making available limited quantities of some of our best trilliums, to avoid disappointment order early. We also offer a fantastic selection of Asian and European woodlanders in our main perennial section. If you are unfamiliar with the Asian species and need some help give us a call, we would be happy to help you choose. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant. Our main issue is shipping damage which is avoided by shipping dormant plants, early ship dates are not only good for the plants they reduce the chance we will run out of something.

Aplectrum hyemale*

Aplectrum hyemale*

Beautiful pleated foliage stays green all winter then the foliage dies down and the flowers arise before the new leaves. Once common in rich woods it was decimated by collecting for window putty. It forms a chain of connected bulbs and may be propagated by detaching back bulbs. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.

Gaultheria Procumbens*

Gaultheria Procumbens*

An evergreen creeper for acid soils, this was once the source of wintergreen flavoring, indeed the aromatic red berries are quite tasty (if only they were juicy) and persist for months, sometimes even being present along with the white urn shaped flowers. It is slow to establish but quite easy once you get it going. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.

Jeffersonia diphylla

Jeffersonia diphylla

A choice plant with l" wide pure white flowers, named for Thomas Jefferson Twinleaf is one of the finest native American plants and has a distinctive quality all its own, I wish the arabidopsis folks would double the petals which should make the flowers longer lasting. The only other species in the genus, Jeffersonia dubia, is found in Japan.

Mitchella repens*

Mitchella repens*

An elegant ground cover with flat sprays of dark glossy evergreen leaves with pairs of sweet white flowers like a long-tubed Jasmine followed by scarlet berries, Partridge Berry is a very aristocratic plant that is never weedy. Mitchella ranks as one of the best ground covers for shade, just the thing to plant under your pear tree. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.

Graceful arching sprays & small hanging clusters of creamy white bells in the leaf axils followed by greenish berries. Polygonatum is a much more diverse genus in Asia and we offer many of the Asian counterparts in the main perennial section, they mix well in the garden.

Tipularia discolor

Tipularia discolor

A curious little orchid, flowers are strange and are said to resemble Crane Flies, (those long legged flying things that look like giant mosquitoes, Ender is one of the few people I know who actually calls them Crane flies). As to the orchid, it grows from a bulbous root a bit like Aplectrum with similar foliar vicissitudes. They are rather cute, and among the easiest of the orchids we grow.

Trillium cuneatum 'Sessile of Hort’*

Trillium cuneatum 'Sessile of Hort’*

Toad Shade, I love the name; I just wish my toads would use them. Large mottled leaves with red flowers in the axil. Flowers are not as sweet as luteum but who cares, a must for every collection. Cuneatum has been widely sold under the name sessile for years. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.

Trillium erectum*

Trillium erectum*

A wide ranging eastern species typically with maroon red flowers on a stem above the leaves, it forms stunning hybrids with flexipes and indeed is so precocious with other plants in it’s section that it can be hard to find a completely pure strain. According to Fred, red forms are more common at higher elevations. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.

Trillium flexipes*

Trillium flexipes*

Nodding, white, sweet scented flowers are the attraction here. They prefer a somewhat neutral to alkaline soil and nod to varying degrees with northern forms often carrying their flowers below the leaves. The name apparently refers to the knee like bend at the top of the pedicel. Ovaries are typically white with pink streaks. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.

Trillium grandiflorum*

Trillium grandiflorum*

It’s a weed here but a glorious one, the huge white flowers fade to pink as they age; good pink forms and doubles are legendary, At least some of the pinks seem to breed true from seed, doubles are another matter but they are starting to tissue culture some of them. I you wish to search for doubles look at the end of the season, the doubles tend to bloom later and hold their petals longer than the singles, making them stand out at a considerable distance. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.
