Tor the Shady Corner 
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.
