Dodecatheon (Primula) hendersonii (Henderson's shooting star)
Jazz up a shady or partially shady part of your landscape with the electric hues of our native shooting star! There's no match for the unusual glowing magenta recurved blooms, accented by vibrant yellow base and dark purple-black tips.
The broad, spoon-shaped leaves emerge in late winter (and persist until about July), reminding us that spring is on its way. The ephemeral blooms rise between April-June on slender stalks, 8-18" above the cluster of ground-hugging leaves. The flower stalk features 4-5 of the distinctive, bright nodding blooms.
Enjoy this early spring gift year after year, when many other perennials in your garden are still resting, and pair it with other ephemerals such as White Fawn Lily, as well as evergreen shady perennials such as Wild Ginger and Epimedium that will occupy the space when this beauty slips into summer dormancy.
