Landscape Uses and Maintenance – Red Wake Robin Trillium

Red Wake Robin Trillium (Trillium erectum) is a great choice for gardeners who want to enhance a shady spot in their garden. A perennial plant that will dazzle you each spring year after year. Bold dark red flowers bloom in early spring and are supported by distinctively patterned green leaves. Flowers are uniquely distinguished by their three petals that make this plant unforgettable.

These are spring ephemerals that are lovely when joined with other Trillium species, Bloodroot, and Virginia bluebells. This plant shines as an understory planting.

Great as an individual showpiece for a collector’s garden, but even better en masse in a large area. This plant will slowly naturalize in an area over time if given its ideal growing conditions. Plant in your woodland garden for a delightful spring display year after year.

It is the perfect, elegant addition to a naturalistic garden, and great at the edge of a border or as part of a cottage garden.

As a plant that grows in its native environment as an understory plant, this plant prefers shade to sun and enjoys dappled light.

This plant is low maintenance and does not require treatments of fertilizer. You can place compost, humus, or leaf mold around the plant to give it more organic matter and help with soil composition.

It thrives in well-drained soil. Avoid planting in clay soil that may cause root issues.

This is a deer resistant plant. Smaller pests will avoid it too. No major diseases.

Will attract pollinators to your garden.
