The Story
The most widespread of the western North American trilliums, Trillium ovatum varies greatly within its range. T. ovatum is a perennial herbaceous plant that spreads by means of underground rhizomes. At maturity, each plant has one or two flowering scapes, each 20 to 50 cm (8 to 19.5 in) in length.
Typically the flower opens white and becomes pink with age, but in the Smith River Canyon area of northern California and southern Oregon, the petals become almost barn-red.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 5-8
Height: 20", 50cm
Location: Part sun or part shade
Seeds per packet: 3
