Dodecatheon dentatum (White Shooting Star)

Dodecatheon dentatum (White Shooting Star)

Bring a burst of spring magic to your garden with the elegant White Shooting Star. Delicate, backward-swept white petals form star-like blooms that seem to hover above a neat rosette of softly crinkled, toothed foliage. Each flower points outward like a tiny dart, creating a dazzling display in late spring.

Perfect for woodland gardens or moist borders, this native perennial thrives in partial sun and rich, evenly moist soil. Deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone, while pollinators eagerly visit its unique blooms.

After its stunning show in May and June, the plant naturally goes dormant in summer—storing energy for an even better performance next year.
