Description
Price is for THREE flowering sized rhizomes.
This is a lovely vigorous stock making good-sized, white flowers which have broad, slightly recurving petals. This lovely Trillium is slightly fragrant and has a very characteristic purple spot on the ovary, typical of this species and unique to Trillium camschatcense (though a similar mark does display in some specimens of the N. American Trillium flexipes).
This is probably the showiest of the Asian Trillium for garden use and in this form, it is the largest. It is widespread across N. Japan and several Japanese Islands and it also occurs on the Chinese mainland and in adjacent Russia (Kamchatka) and seemingly in parts of China and North Korea, though I cannot be sure of the exact status of plants in the latter two countried..
Our new strain, offered in 2011 for the first time, derives from large-flowered, broad-petalled plants with a strongly contrasted purple spot, originally found near Nemuro in S.E. Hokkaido, Japan. These are seed-raised and so will exhibit some variation within the description.
