Trillium cuneatum
The wood lily (Trillium cuneatum) is a delicate flower found in parts of the USA and Canada. It has a unique three petal or three-leaf formation that is a classic indication of the Trillium species. The petals are a bright purple-pink and have a yellow centre. It grows in low, wooded areas on the ground. The stems are strong yet delicate and the leaves are a distinctly triangular shape. The wood lily enjoys moist, well-drained soils and partial sun conditions, making it perfect for wooded gardens. It is beautiful and easy to care for and is thus a favourite for many gardeners.

watering
Water wood lily once a week. Make sure the soil is moist, but not soggy. The amount of water needed will depend on the size of the pot and plant, as well as the time of year. In the warmer months, water more often, as the plant will dry out quicker. During the cooler months, reduce water to just enough to keep the soil moist.
sunlight
Wood lily prefers dappled sunlight that is not too intense. During the spring and summer months, it will need at least 4-6 hours of sunlight each day. In the fall and winter, it should have 2-3 hours of sunlight each day. Sunlight during these months should preferably be indirect or filtered, as this species is not as tolerant of full sun. Strong, full sun for extended periods of time can cause leaf burn on the foliage.
pruning
Wood lilies should be pruned right after their flowering season. Pruning should involve removing the old flower stalks and any dead leaves. If the foliage has become damaged and wilted, it can also be pruned away. Pruning should be done lightly so as to not damage the crown of the plant or its root system. Deadheading the flowers as soon as they are finished blooming also helps promote new blooms. Pruning the brown foliage and removing dead leaves encourages new growth in the upcoming spring season. Pruning should be done with caution, as too much pruning or over-pruning can damage the plant’s root system.
