Trillium catesbaei

Is there anything more elegant for the woodland garden in spring than wafts of trilliums? T. catesbaei is a rare trillium known as the bashful wakerobin with blush pink downward facing blooms with recurved petals. It hails from the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern US. All of our trilliums are nursery grown. Trillium are exquisite plants for the shade garden blooming in early to mid spring with their elegant flowers. They are spring ephemerals that may go dormant by summer. Keep in mind that they may go dormant early in the year they are first planted and could sulk a bit in their second year before settling in for beautiful displays for years to come. Deer resistant.

This seldom offered woodland beauty grows wild throughout the southeastern regions of our country in dry oak and pine woodlands. Borne singularly atop an erect stem, each dainty nodding 1 _ in. bloom features three unique sickle-shaped petals flushed with soft pink to darker rosy hues, punctuated by prominent golden yellow anthers, twisting in an irregular outward fashion. A purple-tinged green stem supports three handsome green whorled leaves, which don lustrous surfaces and upright elliptical outlines sharply tapering to pointed tips

A small species with nodding flowers, we grow a mix of pink and the rarer alpine white forms, in general it is slow to clump up however I have seen large clumps in the Case garden.

Known as the rose trillium because of its sweet scent from nodding white to pale pink flowers. Don't be without this one!
