Found in the moist woods east of the Mississippi River from southern Canada to the northern border of Florida, Red Trillium (Trillium erectum L.) is an unbranched, rhizomatous herb. Its leaves grow in a single whorl of three beneath its one, and only, nodding flower. The red trillium plant grows about eight to 16 inches high while the leaves can be up to seven inches long. Its bright maroon or reddish brown flower is about two and a half to three inches wide. The flowers bloom from April through June.
The Native Americans have used red Trillium for many years. It is often used as an antiseptic or diuretic. The roots can be boiled and used to prevent diarrhea. If made into an ointment it can help with swelling and reduce inflammation and helps with arthritis and sore joints. The roots of red trillium were used as an aid in childbirth in non-traditional medicine. Native Americans also used it to induce delivery, assist in labor, and to help with menstrual disorders. A poultice applied to treat tumors, inflammation, and ulcers were made from the entire plant.

Red Trillium
Red trillium is a perennial plant that produces a spectacular deep crimson flower. This plant emerges in early spring and grows to a height of about 16 inches and about 12 inches wide. It is native to the forest floor in the eastern United States and Canada and can survive extremely cold early spring temperatures to produce its flower finally. The flowers of red trillium may look gorgeous, but they aren't for sniffing since they smell like rotting meat, so admire from a distance. After being pollinated by flies, the flower dropped off and replaced by a fruit that turns bright red as it ripens. The birds enjoy the fruit. The plant then goes dormant underground until next spring.
Red trillium gradually expands each year, forming a clump of plants that each produce a flower. The clumps can be divided during the early summer after the plant goes dormant. These flowers can be planted anywhere they receive ample early spring sunlight and will provide a splash of color in early spring before the most flowers bloom. Although native red trillium always has a dark red flower, varieties with dark purple and white flowers have developed by plant breeders. The dormant underground part of the plant does best when planted in the fall and will produce flowers the following spring.
