Welcome to TN Nursery YouTube channel. Today let's talk about Sweet Betsy Trillium. Sweet Betsy Trillium cuneatum has a curious common name of wood lily. It is mainly called this because it has beautifully mottled leaves. This perennial is spring flowering, a woodland plant native to the northern part of the United States and found in a few locations around Asia. Some of these plants have bright flowers with variegated leaves, while others have fresh green and white flowers. It emerges from an underground rhizome, a stout unbranched, stripped stem and rises to a size of 10 to 12 in height and is topped with ovate egg-shaped leaves. Each leaf is mottled with irregular gray-green blotches. From the center of the leaf whorl appears a single sessile, 3-petaled maroon flower during the period of early March or late May. Flower color is often variable, sometimes appearing yellowish-bronze or reddish-green. The flowers have a particular innate fragrance, as imagined by some people to be reminiscent of bananas. Their vigorously growing in nature will form clumps leading to a beautiful carpeting effect. These are non-toxic species of plants. The skin absorbs all their toxicity. It is one of the most abundant and largest plants on the East Coast of the United States. Sweet Betsy Trillium is for sale at Tennessee Wholesale Nursery with low prices and fast shipping.
