Georgia Dwarf Trillium

Trillium georgianum

Georgia dwarf trillium is a rare, small rhizomatous woodland wildflower native only to a single creek location in Whitfield County, Georgia, and it is one of the most threatened members of the Trillium pusillum group. It is grown only in very limited cultivation and conservation settings, so most gardeners should not expect to find it on sale.
