SNOW TRILLIUM 
Trillium grandiflorum (Michaux) Salisbury 
Snow trillitums area delight to behold when they reach the perfec- 
tion of growth in spring along with other early spring flowers. They 
love woodland regions, pushing up from the ground through the 
covering of brown leaves, and waving in every fitful breeze that 
blows. As the flowers fade they are flushed with a dainty pink color. 
Snow trilliums are easily grown and quickly spread through the 
woods when planted, needing no especial care. The soil must be rich, 
moist, and well drained. The trilliums belong to the Lily Family. 
The snow trilltum hasa rather wide range, extending from North 
Carolina to Missouri and northward to Minnesota, Ontario and 
Quebec. 2
