Each flower turns itself completely inside out, with swept-back petals in shades of pink and lavender and a tight, pointed cluster of yellow and maroon anthers hanging below. The effect is almost cosmic or otherworldly, hence the name shooting star. It's one of the most distinctive spring flowers you can grow, words can't describe how truly striking it is and since most people have never seen it before, it's a real feature plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShooting stars are a spring ephemeral that appears briefly in late spring, then eases back into the surrounding plant community. The foliage forms a low, ground-hugging rosette that stays visually quiet, letting neighboring plants take over as the season progresses. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This species takes a long time to put on size and flower, our quarts are 3 years old which is reflected in the price.

This is a normal part of their life cycle and does not indicate an unhealthy plant. Once established, they will emerge again the following spring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight: Part shade to full sun (best with spring sun)\u003cbr\u003eSoil: Well-drained loam or clay\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 12–18 inches (in bloom)\u003cbr\u003eSpread: Slow-growing, clump-forming\u003cbr\u003eZones: 3–8\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: May through June\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmethyst Shooting Star is pollinated primarily by bumblebees, which use buzz pollination to access its pollen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms Alongside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/prairie-smoke-geum-triflorum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePrairie smoke (\u003cem\u003eGeum triflorum\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/golden-alexander-zizia-aurea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003egolden alexanders (Zizia aurea)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/hairy-beardtongue-penstemon-hirsutus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHairy beardtongue (penstemon hirsutus) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor more information, please check out our \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/pages\/sizes-and-pricing\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003esizes, pricing and ordering page\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pretty Wild","offers":[{"title":"Quarts","offer_id":45584472703155,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/0633\/1827\/files\/1_Cover_Dodecatheon-amethystinum_Layne-Knoche.png?v=1769523749"}],"url":"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/collections\/rare-endangered.oembed","provider":"Pretty Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
