Trillium luteum aka Yellow Wakerobin

Trillium luteum, also known as the yellow trillium or yellow wakerobin, is a rare flowering plant belonging to the Melanthiaceae family. This perennial species, part of the Trillium cuneatum complex, is endemic to the southeastern United States, particularly the Great Smoky Mountains region of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. Growing up to 45cm tall, it features whorled, broadly ovate leaves with attractive silvery green mottling. The plant produces solitary terminal flowers that are yellowish green in color, with narrow, upright petals reaching up to 9cm in length. As a houseplant, the yellow wake robin, or Trillium luteum, is relatively easy to cultivate, requiring regular watering and abundant sunlight. It thrives best when placed within 3 feet of a window. It prefers well-draining soil and does not typically require additional fertilizers if repotted each time it doubles in size. Native to the Southeastern United States, this plant belongs to the Trillium genus.
