Dodecatheon meadia

odecatheon meadia
(Shooting Star)

A graceful North American wildflower that appears as though it has captured motion mid-flight. Rose-pink to lavender petals sweep backward from a pale base, evoking a comet streaking through a spring woodland sky. This plant thrives in moist, humus-rich soil with dappled shade and rewards gardeners with a late-spring burst of magic. After blooming, it slips quietly into dormancy, resting underground until the next celestial encore.

Height: 12"
