Little Sweet Betsy, the largest of the eastern sessile Trilliums (up to 15" tall), has dark red flowers and beautiful mottled foliage and tends to form clumps. It occurs from southern Kentucky to Alabama and Mississippi west of the Appalachians. In rich, upland woods on limestone soils, it may grow by the thousands. This Trillium flowers before the others - mid-March here in Tennessee. Flower odor is slightly spicey. Cat# 1506
