Trillium Erectum (Red)

4” Pot

Zone 3 

Partial Shade/Shade

The whole plant usually disappears by late summer. Best in a woodland situation with rich, moist acidic soil.  Not always easy to establish . Plants resent being disturbed but division every 5 to 8 years is possible. This is best done in late summer after plants become dormant. When happy these may begin to spread by self-seeding.

Forms a low mound of large dark-green leaves. The flowers appear in spring, with narrow maroon-red petals. Blooms often nod shyly, and also have an unpleasant odour.  One of the quickest to form a good clump.
