SANGUINARIA
CANADENSIS “Bloodroot” #SA01 A mysterious, beautiful plant erupting from the earth in April or May, the flowers and foliage appear- ing simultaneously. Pale pinkish white buds thrust from the center of rolled leaves on reddish
stems opening into 2" anemone-like blooms of pure white with lemon-yellow stamens. Glaucous green foliage is strikingly lobed and deeply veined, remaining attractive well into summer. Roots and stems carry translucent orange-red sap, hence, the name bloodroot. Priced below.
[Ht: 6", Bl: M/L, Zones: 3 to 8, SSH/SH]
TRILLIUM “Wake Robin” Easily recognized for their tripartite form with flowers consist- ing of 3 petals and 3 sepals, leaves in groups of 3, and even the berry has 3 cells. [Ht: 10"-15", Bl: M/L, Zones: 4 to 9, SSH/SH]
T. erectum #TR23 “Purple Trillium” Nearly erect 1" to 1½" flowers, mahogany-red to purple (on rare occasions white, yellow or green forms may appear), often with more than one stem per plant. Clump-forming.
T. grandiflorum #TR25
Dazzling white flowers set off by lemon-yellow stamens, often fading to pink. Deeply veined, twisting foliage creates a lively background for the blooms. One of the new trilliums that will thrive in alkaline soil. Do not cut as leaves provide the plant’s only nourishment.
T. luteum #TR27 Pale yellow-green lemon-scented flowers sur- rounded by erect, mottled foliage.
T. sessile #TR29 Sessile means ‘stalkless’ referring to the flower which sits neatly on the foliage like something sumptu- ous being served on a plate. The lovely flowers are deep crimson-maroon framed by pale green leaves richly mottled with darker green markings.
