I have not yet tried to cultivate these myself but they thrive in the woods behind my house; a testament to just how hardy they can be in this area as they receive no attention at all.

It is easily identified with it's petiolate leaves, recurved sepals and relatively short petals. It has a similar color range to T lancifloium, although is normally a brownish-maroon to red-maroon. It has a very wide range for a sessile trillium and can be quite variable in size, petal color and leaf marking.

This is a very thriving plant with interesting foliage for those who can't grow most of the southern species. It is rated to zone 4a hardy. I had no trouble with it, except for its slow spreading rate. I wish there are better words than "Prairie Trillium" since that makes people think it grows in full sun, not in woodland. It grows in neutral to slightly alkaline soil in woodland shade in sandy soil. It have smaller petals than the other sessile species that grows in zone 4.

One of my all time favorite spring bloomers. Loves a moist soil but not standing water. Full shade to light shade. Spreads slowly. Likes a lot of composted soil.
