Trillium plant

Large-flowered Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) Aman Park Ottawa County, Michigan May 11

If you are a native plant lover, set aside a corner of your shady garden for a few trillium. You can choose from the 36 species that grow across the temperate US.

Trilliums are lovely woodland plants that bring interest and whimsy to dappled garden spaces. They are endangered, so growing them is beneficial.
