Trillium
( TRILL - ee - um )
At-A-Glance InformationThis genus of flowering perennials needs partial to full shade conditions and regular water to perform well. They bloom in early springtime, sending out three-petaled flowers that appear in the center of a whorl of leaves. They are great in shady, wooded areas and like to be left undisturbed to form colonies via rhizomes. In summer, these plants will die to the ground.
