From an ex-situ conservation standpoint, we are a bit fanatical about trilliums. We grow many thousand trilliums from seed each year, and also travel around the country studying trilliums in the wild, which has given us an incredible opportunity to make some amazing selections. At JLBG, we currently grow over 1,600 different trillium selections, which is most likely the worlds’ largest collection.Â
Here are a few samples from the second wave of trillium flowers at JLBG
Has JLBG exchanged genetic material/plants with John Lonsdale?
We do exchange plants, but not trillium.
