Large white trillium is a stunning native wildflower best grown in a shaded woodland garden with rich, well-draining, humus-filled soil. Keep the soil evenly moist and avoid disturbing the roots, as this slow-growing perennial resents transplanting and takes several years to reach full size. Never pick the flowers or foliage, as removing leaves can fatally weaken the plant.
