Trillium sulcatum
The region where North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, West Virginia, Georgia, and Alabama converge is home to the amazing native Trillium sulcatum, named in 1984. Prior to that time, Trillium sulcatum was lumped with Trillium erectum, to which it is similar, except Trillium sulcatum is much more robust, with upturned sulcate (boat-shaped) sepals. In early May, the wine-red flowers open atop the foliage. We are thrilled to be able to offer nursery-propagated, blooming-sized plants grown from seed collected in Anderson County, Tennessee.
