T. flexipes is known to hybridize with other Trillium species. In particular, hybrids between T. flexipes and T. erectum can occur. Indeed, the red-petaled forms of T. flexipes tend to occur in regions where the ranges of both species coincide.[7] Hybridization is also suspected between T. flexipes and T. sulcatum.Template:Sfnp
