Claytonia virginica A11NC-108 (Virginia Spring Beauty)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 3-9 4" tall Origin: USA

Open House/Web-Only! Native from Canada south to Texas, this delightful spring ephemeral wildflower is rarely offered by nurseries since it will never be a star in container culture. The two basal leaves, which resemble flat green toothpicks, give rise to clusters of tiny pale pink flowers that open on sunny days over a period of a month starting in mid-March. Claytonia virginica thrives in virtually all soil types, where it forms a nice 4' wide patch in 10 years, disappearing for the season by with onset of warm weather...very cute. This collection hails from Van Buren Co. Tennessee at 2,000' elevation. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
