Description:
Trillium apetalon is a very rare oddball Japanese species in which the petals are missing and the sepals are red to burgundy. The flowers are quite small. So small that you could say that this is a trillium only its mother could love. But it's a trillium. Don't you just want to love all trilliums? 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.
