Giant Wake Robin

Trilliums, also known as Wake Robin, or Tri Flowers, are Spring-flowering perennials with flowers with three petals that sit on three leaves. They take a long time to establish and multiply, but then are long-lived, so it is best to leave them alone once planted. 'Giant Trillium' bears upright dark red or maroon flowers
