Description
A genus of 30 species of hardy herbaceous perennials native to North America (especially the Appalachians), the Himalayas and eastern Asia. They are unusual in that each stem bears three oval, sometimes marbled leaves, three sepals and three petals. The flowering period is spring or early summer.
Cultivation
Plant and rhizomes 7.5cm/3in deep as soon as they are received in August-September. Trillium do best in part shade, in moist, cool woodland conditions. The soil should be well drained, with plenty of leaf mould incorporated in it.
Propagation
Life and divide the rhizomes between late summer and March, and replant immediately.
