Thread Name: BS: The September/Fall Garden
Subject: RE: BS: The September Garden
The east coast native trilliums are mostly either a maroon or yellow, SRS, with white being very rare but not impossible to find... They come up with the rest of the spring wild flowers, love part shade and moist feet...

We have a hybridized white one that blooms well into the summer that we bought from a North Carolina grower that doesn't match any pictures in any book and the grower looked at a photo we took of it and couldn't even identify it! We're kinda crossing our fingures that it doesn't revert so that maybe we can get it registered...

Those fall camillias, according to the P-Vine, are called "saw-san-quas"... I prolly spelled it wrong... She corrects me all the time when I call them camilias since camillias, she says, bloom in the spring... Speaking of Camillias if anyone wants to grow them in Zone 6, son't let anyone tell you they won't grow. Some won't but many will. The trick is to build a cage for them out of fence and micorfoam for their first winter....
