Description
Trillium grandiflorum, or White Trillium, is a one foot, woodland, ground cover perennial with bright, three-petaled, white flowers resembling dogwoods from April to June. White Trillium prefers part to full shade in moist rich soils. White Trillium is one of the most showy, best known,and beloved of the species. Trilliums rely on myrmecochory, meaning seed dispersal relies primarily on ants carrying away their seeds and eating the large oily elaiosomes, leaving the seed behind to grow.
Did you know Trilliums are slow to develop due to their slow period of active growth in spring? It can take up to 10 years for a plant to reach flowering size in the wild.
Trillium grandiflorum is also known as Great White Trillium.
