but slowly spreading Asarum ichangense 'Silver Lining' has grown into a lovely 4" tall x 2' wide patch in 15 years

Trillium maculatum Dorchester Light Shade In mid-May (NC)(aka: Trillium maculatum A3SC 012) Trillium maculatum 'Dorchester' is our 2021 introduction of seed grown, flowering sized plants from a population in Dorchester County, SC.
