Large flowered bellwort (Uvularia grandiflora) is a member of the Liliaceae family and forms small colonies. This plant is an indicator species and its presence means the forest floor ecosystem is still intact.

Deer love to eat this species and invasive garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) alters the soil chemistry of the forest floor, leading to the decline of this and other species.

This species is bee pollinated and its seeds are dispersed by ants.
