Trillium viride

Overview

Green trillium (Trillium viride) is an herbaceous perennial plant native to North America. It is common in moist woods and along streams and is easily identified by its bright green, three-petaled flower and whorled leaves. Flowers bloom in April and May, followed by dark blue or black berries. As the leaves die back in autumn, a deep purple color takes over the plant. It is a low-maintenance plant that requires little care and can survive decades in the wild.
