Yellow Trillium Plant

The Yellow Trillium luteum is a rare and exotic, highly sought-after native perennial that thrives in shade. TN Nursery struggles to keep this rare perennial beauty in stock. It is a rhizomatous, herbaceous perennial that produces a whorl of three leaves, called bracts, at the top of its solitary stem. This unique plant produces one three-petaled flower, bright yet pale yellow, with a subtle lemon scent. The flower has no stem and emerges directly from the leaf whorl; flowers that form in this manner are known as sessile flowers.
