Trillium simile Helleborus but this rare form hasTrillium simile is a little known trillium from the Blue Ridge Mountain region where North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia meet. Trillium simile was named for its resemblance to the nearby Trillium vaseyi. The large, outfacing, deliciously fragrant, creamy white flowers with a contrasting black ovary top the green foliage in mid spring. Our offerings are 7 to 8 year old flowering plants, nursery propagated from seed from Blount County, Tennessee.
