Trillium pusillum var. georgianum



A very tiny growing species that I got from an AGS show. The species is a complex, of different varieties. T.p. georgianum is sometimes treated as a species in its own right. It is only known from a single location in Whitfield County, Georgia.

Plant Delights Nursery say:

"Trillium georgianum is an extremely rare Georgia-endemic toadshade that's a cousin to the more common Trillium pusillum. In the wild, Trillium georgianum grows in open acidic woodlands where the soil stays moist, and occasionally floods. The 4" tall stalks arise in early spring, topped with a single flower that emerges white, but ages with pink tones. When happy, it can form 1-2' wide patches via short stolons. Our flowering sized plants are all nursery seed grown, but are in very short supply since seed are always very scarce."
