Yellow Trillium
Yellow Trillium is a showy spring-blooming wildflower with yellow, three-petaled flowers and mottled leaves, typically found in woodlands and forests. They are an excellent choice for landscaping due to their numerous positive attributes. These beautiful native North American wildflowers possess unique characteristics that can enhance any garden or outdoor space. From their striking appearance to their role in promoting biodiversity, they offer various benefits for landscape design.
Yellow Trillium, also known as Trillium luteum, is a member of the lily family. They bloom between April and May and produce a faint scent of lemon. Due to their growing pattern, these gorgeous flowers can be planted next to other perennials that bloom in mid to late summer.
The Leaves Of Yellow Trillium
Each of these plants has three leaves, and they range in appearance from dark green to light green. Additionally, they may have a few hints of silver, which gives them an extra pop of color. Over time, these herbaceous perennials can grow up to 16 inches tall. You'll get to see yours grow and expand, but you can also divide them during the summer.
This Perennial Has Stunning Flowers
Sticking up out of the trio of leaves that surround it is one trimerous flower. In keeping with the pattern of its leaves, the flower has three petals, three carpels, three stamens, and three sepals. Interestingly, these flowers do not have stalks, but they do have erect petals. Once their flowering season is over, these plants will go dormant in the summertime. However, they'll exit dormancy for the late winter season.
One Gives You Many
They are self-seeders, so once you've planted the first one, you'll typically see others rise as well. They rely on ants to help them spread their seeds. Each new flower will grow beautifully from the plant's center and stick straight up into the air.
Meanwhile, the leaves grow outward and may slightly swoop toward the ground. The mottled leaves can vary in intensity, with some being mostly green while others are almost fully covered by a light gray shade. Either way, they provide the perfect backdrop for these stunning light gold flowers.
This Is One Of TN Nursery's Best Sellers
Although they can be planted pretty much anywhere, they have a unique natural habitat. They typically grow around the Great Smoky Mountains, where they help bring light and beauty to the area. What's truly unusual, though, is how many will naturally arise in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It's unknown why they flock to this one specific city, but it certainly provides a bright point of interest for those who live there.
