Shooting Star is a native North American wildflower that forms a low rosette of rounded leaves. It the spring long red or green stems emerge with several unusual blooms in a shooting star-like appearance. They grow best in moist, humusy well-drained soil in part shade. Avoid poorly drained sites. By mid-summer, the foliage disappears and the plant goes dormant.

Use in a woodland garden, on a slope or in a rock garden.
