Like most early-blooming plants,Trilliums give better results 
the following spring when planted in autumn in time to make 
their regular root growth, which seems to take place a few 
weeks after the stems have died. They form a very pretty 
group, which comes into bloom early, and whose leaves make 
a good display after the flower has passed. Trilliums like a 
light soil, with a mixture of leaf-mold or peat, and for most of 
them, a little well-rotted manure will be beneficial. Although 
they may, as a rule, be grown in the sun, a partial shade, is the 
most natural place. They look best when in good-sized groups. 
In a good position they last almost indefinitely.
