Trillium simile, the jeweled wakerobin,[2] is a spring-flowering perennial plant which is native to southern parts of the Appalachian Mountains in southeastern United States (Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina).[3][4] It is also known as sweet white wake-robin, sweet white trillium and confusing trillium.
Trillium simile prefers to grow in moist humus-rich soils in mature forests at the edges of Rhododendron thickets and at edges of the forest. It is found at elevations of 500 - 700 meters (1,640 - 2,300 feet).[5][6]
