Painted Trillium - Trillium Undulatum

Painted Trillium is a beautiful, easy-care perennial wildflower with bold, striking flowers and low maintenance. Ideally suited to shade gardens or forests, this Indigenous species will add grace and nature to your landscape.

Soil Requirements of Painted Trillium Plants

It grows quickly in humus-enriched, well-drained soil. It will tolerate partial shade, just like its wild forested environment. To plant, rake out the dirt, plant just below the surface, and add a few inches of soil and water. Once established, it is easy to maintain, requiring only periodic watering in the dry years and a layer of organic mulch to hold water and add nutrients.

Painted Trillium's Blooming Patterns

It blooms from mid to late spring and has beautiful white-pinnated flowers with a touch of red or pink in the center. These intricate blooms flower for weeks, and they are a lovely sight. Once bluffed, the plant’s green lance-like leaves are thick throughout the growing season and contrast with the flowers. The leaves fall when the plant goes into hibernation late in the summer.

Shape and Longevity of This Perennial

The low-growing perennial spreads 8 to 16 inches, making it great for borders, rock gardens, or woodland ground cover. It can be replaced year in and year out and delights gardeners with its eternal beauty.

Life Cycle of them

They are carefully grown bare-roots and shipped from TN Nursery as healthy, bare-root plants. These tough plants germinate quickly and prefer shade, producing distinctive flowers year after year. Take Painted Trillium into your garden, and enjoy its quiet elegance for years to come!

Care

Painted Trillium thrives in well-drained, rich soil with consistent moisture. Ensure they have ample space to spread as they grow slowly. Avoid disturbing the roots and remove any weeds that compete for nutrients. They benefit from a layer of mulch to retain moisture.

Plant Reproduction

Painted Trillium spread by clumping and setting seed.

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.

Awesome Customer Service

About 4 years ago, I bought 400+ root ball ferns to plant in a shady area by a stream in our back yard. I've had shockingly good luck bringning them along and now I have a beautiful grouping of ferns. This year, I bought 10 painted trillium to plant at our lake home in Northern Michigan. They were shipped directly to our property so I haven't planted them yet. Moreover, I won't know until next year as to whether I'll have the same luck with those as I did with the ferns. However, I was impressed with the quick turnaround time that the Nursery provided and have all the confidence in the world that I'll, once again, be a satisfied customer.
