Fwd: Trilliums ?

I have had a T. erectum for many years - like about 35 - in the 
edge of my woodland.  It hasn't spread much, but is very 
dependable.  I look for it every spring.

Bonnie,

   I've found that heavy soil kills them -- if you can put light,
   fluffy organic soil around them they'll fare better.

   I've also had problems with certain species because of the acidity.

   The most forgiving species for me here in East Central Illinois have
   been T. luteum, T. grandiflorum, and T. erectum (in that order).
