Trillium grandiflorum (Dt.: Waldlillie) is flowering in May. For years I have been trying to cultivate this plant, but it often left me and withered. Firstly, it is difficult to obtain a viable plant and then it often seems disinclined to be moved and replanted. Last year, however, we seem to have found a space it likes : in a lightly shaded position among rhododendrons, and not too dry. I hope it will stay; the three-petaled white flowers and the threesome leaves underneath are quite uncommon in our gardens and a welcome surprise.
The petals acquire a pink blush when they fade.
