Dodecatheon pulchellum
Darkthroat Shooting Star - Western native Shooting Star
These have been seed grown, not collected in the wild. Intense fuschia color flowers emerge early in spring on this shooting star. Large and showy, it is easy in sun or shade and will tolerate summer drought. (Actually it appreciates drying out in the summer.) 12" tall. This is a classic woodland wildflower. Excellent when massed in a shaded woodland garden, naturalized area or in a wildflower garden. Mixes well with other spring wildflowers.
