Description
Trillium luteum, or Yellow Trillium, is a spring ephemeral bearing yellow blossoms paired with mottled silver-green leaves. Yellow Trillium is excellent in shade gardens or wooded areas. Did you know Trilliums rely on myrmecochory? This means seed dispersal relies primarily on ants to carry away their seeds and eating the large oily elaiosomes, leaving only 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.
