This is a remarkable woodland wildflower with a relatively tall stem that is leafless except for 3 large, mottled, oval leaves that form a base for a dark, blood-red flower of the Lily family of plants.
Prairie Trillium is native to a large portion of the Central and Eastern regions of the United States and despite its name, this is a woodland plant that brings a unique look to any natural or ornamental garden.
Easy to care for and quick to spread on its own via a robust rhizome structure, Prairie Trillium is an ideal addition to decorative fence lines and around garden borders. This wildflower grows to approximately -2 feet tall with a green to reddish-brown central stem that is a vertical extension of the rhizome making up the root system.
The blooms are an interesting rhombic-elliptic shape, dark red, with inward curving tips. Flowering for an average of 4 weeks in late spring, Prairie Trillium is a relatively long-lasting bloom that lacks a strong floral scent and produces seed-bearing fruit at the end of the flowering season.
Popular with deer and other large herbivores, Prairie Trillium has developed a mottled medium to dark green leaf pattern that is believed to help it camouflage with shadows and the forest floor as a sort of defense mechanism.
Prairie Trillium prefers moist to dry, loamy clay soil, dappled sunlight or partial shade, and is particularly resistant to pests or disease. This makes for an easy and self-colonizing addition that will bring striking color and unique shapes to any woodland garden or landscape.

Prairie Trillium, or Trillium Recurvatum, a member of herbaceous perennial, has full lily-like leaves with dense fibers and smooth surface texture. Also known as the Bloody Butcher Plant, its no wonder the leaves resemble lilies- Trillium Recurvatum is a member of the Lily order, Liliaceae, of the Melanthiaceae family.
The Northern United States region is the temperate zone native to Prairie Trillium. Considerably prevalent in that part, the plant is scattered everywhere- making its presence known in unusually dense wooded areas. It is attracted to deciduous trees, often growing near them or among them. This species has been known to be incredibly resilient, having faced eradication many times. The color of its leaves is a medium-tone bright green with veining apparent through the surface areas. The green foliage is mottled in appearance, similar to the markings of a panther or snake. Pale green patches dot the leaf in an animalistic freckle pattern.
Blooms can sprout in a variety of shades, including Yellow, Green, and Purple. Optimum bloom times occur in early spring- March, April, and May. Unfertilized members or young plants will not generate flower; only leaves will grow. The Prairie Trillium is found in central and eastern United States and is known as a spring wildflower.

The Prairie Trillium also grows fruit, with six developed ridges. The fruit contains a fleshy structure that keeps ants and other insects from foraging. Usually, the spring wildflower grows up to 12-18 inches tall and 8-12 inches wide. Prairie Trillium is easy to grow, especially in woodland areas, where it is shady and moist, even in the summer.
