Trillium erectum, also known as red trillium, wake-robin, purple trillium, Beth root, or stinking Benjamin, is native to eastern Canada and the Eastern United States.
It is a spring ephemeral, an herbaceous perennial whose life-cycle is synchronised with that of the deciduous forests where it lives.
Trillium erectum grows to about 40 cm (16 in) in height with a spread of 30 cm (12 in), and can tolerate extreme cold in winter, surviving temperatures down to -35 C (-31 F).
Like all trilliums, its parts are in groups of three, with 3-petalled flowers above whorls of pointed triple leaves. The flowers are a deep red colour.
These seeds are available for a very limited time (see below).
