Landscape Uses and Maintenance – White Trillium

White Trillium are long lasting, herbaceous perennials that will add vibrant beauty to any garden for many years to come. Pure white flowers bloom in spring. In its native habitat you can find it in deciduous forests; but it has been watched by conservationists. Buy this rare plant to have it in your garden and support the population.

Shade gardeners, look no further! Plant it in dappled sunlight to keep it happy. It prefers full to partial shade over being exposed to sunlight.

Plant in the border, in your shade garden, or in a large group in a woodland garden. This plant will naturalize and spread over time. Plant it in abundance with Twinleaf, ferns, Bleeding Heart, and other spring blooming flowers.

As a forest floor plant, this plant prefers the shade and to be planted in moist, organic matter rich soil. Give the soil around the plant plenty of humus, leaf mold, or compost to mimic the forest floor. Avoid planting it in waterlogged soils.

These are delicate plants that do not have much fragrance. Flowers are attractive to bees.

I caution you, “deer” reader. Make sure to protect this plant immediately upon planting. It is not deer resistant, and the deer will enjoy eating your new flowers!

Noteworthy Characteristics

White Trillium and others in this family gets their botanical name from “Tri,” due to its unique pairs: three petals and three leaves.

Flowers turn light pink as they mature.

Ants will carry away the seeds so they can eat the oil rich substance on the outside, moving and thus planting the seeds elsewhere.
