   It seems to be about 5 years under ideal conditions.  There’s a lovely photo-illustrated document at the link below.

   Does anyone know how long it is from seed to a blooming trillium? It looks like my few trilliums have seedpods forming.

2. THanks Melissa,

   Now I know more about how to deal with Triliums. But I hope to allow them to spread arounf by thenmselves – alas, 5 years seems a long time! to wait. I may have to buy a few advanced plants.
