Trillium catesbaei

(stylosum)

Rarely available, this is a charming, mid-sized species which has superb reflexed, nodding pale pink (rarely white) flowers held well-poised over plain leaves of deep, bottle green which can take on a purple tinge in early spring sunshine.

Justifiably popular but not always the easiest. It does like an acid soil and is best when there is plenty of humus in the soil too. Pay careful attention to ensure plenty of water but with good drainage.
