Perfect for moist clay soil, Prairie Trillium does best in light shade in a slightly damp setting. One of the earliest blooming trilliums, it features unique wine-red flowers atop beautiful large mottled leaves, and blooms at approximately the same time as Virginia Bluebells. Long-lived, this rare plant increases slowly by underground bulbs and can be divided every few years. All trilliums go dormant in summer so plant them with other woodland perennials to share and fill the space until they reappear the following spring. Trillium recurvatum is listed as endangered in Michigan.
