Trilliums are spring-flowering woodland plants, native to North America and Asia. Some have bright flowers and variegated foliage, while others have fresh green leaves and white flowers. They thrive in sheltered, shady gardens in moist but well-drained soil.
Trillium vaseyi bears large, rich red, slightly fragrant flowers with recurved petals, and yellow anthers. It’s a bold, strong-growing trillium and one of the best for garden cultivation.
For best results grow Trillium vaseyi in moist but well-drained, neutral to acidic soil in shade, and combine with other shade-loving plants such as epimediums. Plants may be propagated from seed but will take three years to flower. Given the right conditions, established plants are long-lived.
