Trillium undulatum, also known as painted trillium or painted lady, is a species of flowering plant in the Melanthiaceae family. It is a perennial herbaceous plant with three large leaf-like bracts and a single white flower with wavy petals and a red splotch at the base. The plant is found in eastern North America, from Ontario to Georgia, and from Michigan to Nova Scotia. It prefers acidic, humus-rich soils and is often found in the shade of acid-loving trees. This species is globally secure, but is considered vulnerable or endangered in some U.S. states. It was first described by Carl Ludwig Willdenow in 1801 and has several synonyms and forms, including a white-petaled form found in the southern Appalachian Mountains.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Expose seeds to natural outdoor winter conditions for 3 months, then gradually increase light and temperature in the spring.
Requires Darkness: These seeds need to be covered with soil or otherwise kept in the dark to germinate properly. Light inhibits their germination process.
Germination Improved by GA3: Gibberellic Acid(GA3) is a plant growth hormone that can break dormancy and improve germination rates for seeds that are otherwise difficult to sprout.
Sow seeds immediately as their viability decreases rapidly, or they best germinate when fresh. If stored, seeds might need temperature cycling and patience to germinate.
seeds must be stored cold and moist; germination is unlikely after storage >6 months; if seeds are received dry, try hydrating in damp paper towel @ 20°C for 1 week; during 3 months @ 20° a radicle is formed; then 4°C for at least 86 days will trigger emergence of a cotyledon which will appear as the temperature increases in spring; no more leaves are formed that year; if sown early enough, a cotyledon may emerge first spring but usually not until second spring; keep seeds in pots for 2 years
