Sadly, unscrupulous collectors have decimated many wild populations of trilliums and many are now endangered. Rest assured that we offer only commercial nursery propagated plants. You can help ensure their survival by planting some in your own garden. You will need to have the appropriate conditions. Trilliums are not a good choice for the desert southwest due to its drought conditions, unless special arrangements have been made. They are a sight to behold not only in their native habitat but also in the garden. They are recognized by their whorl of three leaves and showy flowers, in fact nearly all parts of the plant come in threes. Red trillium (Trillium erectum) produces attractive, nearly purple flowers, often blooming with the arrival of the spring robins.
