Trillium luteum
The citrus-scented, lemon yellow blooms of Trillium luteum sit on top of the mottled leaves.
The citrus-scented, lemon yellow blooms of Trillium luteum are sessile (without a flower stalk) and thus sit on top of the leaves which are beautifully silver-mottled. Native to the rich, deciduous woods of the eastern US. Trillium are exquisite plants for the shade garden blooming in early to mid spring with their elegant flowers. They are spring ephemerals that may go dormant by summer. Keep in mind that they may go dormant early in the year they are first planted and could sulk a bit in their second year before settling in for beautiful displays for years to come.
