Common name toadshade trillium Family melanthiaceae Life cycle perennial (Z4-8) Flowers maroon Size 12" Light part-full shade Cultural notes moist soil; do not transplant Woodland perennial, native to the US. Maroon-mottled foliage. After quite a few unsuccessful attempts to grow trilliums from seed, I finally broke down and ordered (three, of course) live plants by mail. They arrived bare-root and barely awake, but upon planting quickly developed their first three leaves. Even though our shade garden is tiny, it wouldn't be complete without at least one species of this charming woodland genus.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: shade garden
