Painted Trillium, Painted Wakerobin, Painted Wood Lily
One of the most attractive woodlands Trilliums, Trillium undulatum (Painted Trillium) is a clump-forming rhizomatous perennial producing whorls of three broadly oval, basal, blue-green leaves. From mid-spring to early summer, ravishing white flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), adorned with a splash of pink, are borne above the leaves on a short, arching stem. Each flower has three red-edged green sepals and 3 crinkly-edged, white petals with a carmine basal stripe. Easy to grow, this charming Trillium is a lovely choice for wildflower gardens or woodland gardens, where it will carpet the ground, regaling those who view it.
