Notes
White wake robin (Trillium flexipes) is a perennial for shade gardens, woodland gardens, and borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. It grows slowly, so give it a quiet spot where it can settle in.
Pairs well with Wild ginger, Wild geranium, and Cinnamon fern.
