Trillium sulcatum, the furrowed wakerobin,[3] southern red trillium[4] or Barksdale trillium, is a perennial wildflower that blooms in April and May. It is native to the southern Appalachian Mountains and nearby areas from West Virginia to Alabama.[5]

Trillium sulcatum bears its dark reddish flower on a pedicel above the leaves, with recurved (bent backwards) petals. The berry is also red.[6][4]
