Trillium vaseyi
Also called Sweet Trillium, Vasey's Trillium, Sweet Beth
Sweet wakerobin is a spring-flowering woodland perennial from the southern Appalachians, with large red flowers and a sweet scent. It is best grown in cool, moist, shaded, humus-rich soil, much like its native rich woods.
Trillium vaseyi is a species of flowering plant in the family Melanthiaceae. It is a spring-flowering perennial plant found only in the southeastern United States. The specific epithet vaseyi honors the American plant collector George Richard Vasey, not to be confused with his father Dr. George Vasey. The species is commonly called Vasey's Trillium. It is also known as the sweet wakerobin, sweet trillium, or sweet beth.
Trillium vaseyi is endemic to the Southeastern United States. It occurs primarily in the southern Appalachian Mountains in the states of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. A disjunct population is also known to occur in Lee County, Alabama.
