Trillium decumbens Jefferson Gems Montenegro Asarum asperum 'Silver Streak' formsTrillium decumbens 'Jefferson Gems' is our nursery seed propagated strain from an original 2011 clonal collection in Jefferson County, Alabama. This is our first offering of the highly prized Trillium decumbens, which is both a poor seed setter germinator and slow offsetter. This super cute trillium has mouse ear shaped green and silver patterned foliage that appears to lay flat on the ground, thanks to a decumbent (fallen and it can't get up) stem.
