Day 96: trilliums

Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year

When it comes to my ideal qualities for a plant, close to the top of the list would be the ability to thrive under neglect. It’s not that I’m deliberately cruel to the things that I invite into my garden; more that, once something’s been introduced, I like it to get on with living its best life without requiring me to constantly faff about it. Quite how the trilliums survive is beyond me – plunged several years ago into a container in a shady corner of the courtyard that receives almost no attention from one year to the next, except perhaps to remove the odd uninvited bramble, they come back in greater force every spring. I’ve grown so fond of them that I daren’t give them even the slightest bit of TLC even if I wanted to, for fear they’d take umbrage at such presumption and expire.
