Turkey corn is an indigenous perennial plant found in rich soil on hills, among rocks and old, decayed timber in the eastern U.S. from New York to North Carolina. The tuberous root produces a scape 6 to 12 inches high and a set of basal, somewhat triternate leaves, 10 to 15 inches in height. In the early spring, nodding, reddish-purple flowers bloom at the top of the scape. The fruit is a pod-shaped, many-seeded capsule.
