Yellow Trillium Not Quite Native

April 15, 2026

Yellow Trillium (Trillium luteum), native to the Southern Appalachian region, including Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky. Close, but not native to Virginia. In one of my gardens anyway, with a backdrop of Ostrich Fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) which is indeed native to Virginia.
