Planting
Yellow Trillium comes in many varieties which are suited to different regions. Giant Trillium for instance grows well in western mountainous states. Be sure you pick variety that is well suited to your zone. Trillium is difficult to propagate from seed and therefore is generally sold as bulbs. Plant bulbs 3-4 inches deep in nutrient rich soil. Trillium likes moist soil and well shaded areas. It pairs well with other shade loving flowers and has few pests or diseases to worry about.
Care
·       Add compost to soil when planting Trillium but no need to fertilize
·       Keep soil moist and make sure to plant in a sun dappled area without direct sunlight
·       Trilliums like alkaline soil, so adding lime or ash once a season will be beneficial
·       Trilliums don’t have many natural pests to worry about
Interesting Facts
·       There are over 40 varieties of Trillium
·       Trilliums are also known as Trinity Flowers because of their three-petaled flower
·       Trilliums are a sign of modest beauty
·       Ants are attracted to Trillium seeds and help propagate the seeds by carrying them back to their nests
