Trillium Cuneatum
M6811
Description
Thriving in moist shade, Trillium ‘Cuneatum’ is a woodland jewel, perfect for enhancing potentially dingy areas of the garden. Sumptuous, burgundy-bronze blooms sit atop mottled, marbled foliage, offering decorative, weed-suppressing groundcover.
‘Trillium’ is derived from the Latin triplum (triple) due to the flowers being composed of three distinct petals and three bracts. This hardy perennial is native to the South-eastern United States where it grows in cove forests, flourishing in spring before the deciduous trees put on a full canopy.
Commonly referred to as ‘Sweet Betsy’, Trillium are said to have a delightful, subtle scent of bananas.
