We have some nice trilliums in our yard each spring. Is there a good way to transplant them into post as houseplants?

This is my first year growing trilliums in the garden. I would think they could be forced in pots just like they do daffodils, paper whites, etc. I know the wild ones are very touchy though. I've killed a few trying to transplant them into my garden. But maybe with the cultivated ones you could do it.

These are wild. It may be a bit tricky, then? And they're perennials, right?

Yes and yes. But if you have a lot of them, it would not hurt to try ONE.

I agree. I'd try one for the sake of doing so but they are best left outside if your in their natural range.

I agree with Carol and Hal.
When I find a native plant that I want to use, the first thing that I do is survey the area that the plant is growing in, as well as surrounding areas when possible (with permission), to get an idea of how many plants there really are and how big the area that they're growing in is. You never know if your property is the only one in your area that has trillium growing on it.
