Painted Trillium - Trillium undulatum

Landscape Uses and Maintenance

Ideal for native and woodland gardens, the Painted Trillium pairs beautifully with Virginia bluebells, Dutchman’s breeches, and bloodroot. Plant tightly for clumping effect or showcase a single specimen for dramatic impact. An understory plant, it thrives in full shade and well‑drained soil enriched with leaf mold or compost. Over time, it will naturalize, forming a graceful groundcover.

Low‑maintenance and disease‑resistant, it reblooms yearly. Avoid waterlogged sites, and let fallen leaves decompose to mimic its forest‑floor habitat. After flowering, small red berries appear against large dark‑green leaves that make the white petals pop.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Subject to conservation efforts in parts of the South, Painted Trillium benefits from garden cultivation to bolster wild populations. As a fleeting spring ephemeral, it goes dormant in summer—fill gaps with ferns or other shade‑loving plants for continuous interest. Deer and most pests leave it undisturbed.

Awesome Customer Service

About 4 years ago, I bought 400+ root ball ferns to plant in a shady area by a stream in our back yard. I've had shockingly good luck bringning them along and now I have a beautiful grouping of ferns. This year, I bought 10 painted trillium to plant at our lake home in Northern Michigan. They were shipped directly to our property so I haven't planted them yet. Moreover, I won't know until next year as to whether I'll have the same luck with those as I did with the ferns. However, I was impressed with the quick turnaround time that the Nursery provided and have all the confidence in the world that I'll, once again, be a satisfied customer.
