Trillium chloropetalum 'Volcano' | Volcano Giant Trillium

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Trillium chloropetalum ‘Volcano’ emerges in early spring with a whorl of three broad, slightly wavy leaves that form a balanced platform above the soil. The rich green foliage highlights a solitary, upright flower held at the center. In mid to late spring, thick petals unfold in deep maroon to near-black tones with a satiny surface. The bold coloration and substantial petals give the bloom a dramatic presence while the tidy three-leaf arrangement maintains a refined woodland character.

This selection traces its heritage to Trillium chloropetalum native to California’s coastal ranges and foothill woodlands. In gardens it brings depth and seasonal interest to shaded borders, woodland plantings, and naturalistic settings beneath trees or shrubs.
