Shooting Star
Dodecatheon Meadia
“Shooting Star” is a great choice of a common name for an uncommon plant. Blooming mid–April through the end of June in the Chicago area, the dainty pink, lilac or white blooms are borne on 9 to 15” stalks above the leaves. The flowers have petals that are bent backwards to look like a “shooting star.” Grow in moist, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade.
