50 Seeds Midland Shooting Star Dodecatheon meadia Wildflower Perennial

Midland Shooting Star (Dodecatheon meadia) is a beloved woodland wildflower prized for its distinctive swept-back petals that resemble tiny shooting stars in flight. Blooming in spring, its nodding blooms in shades of white to rose-pink rise above tidy rosettes of light green foliage, adding a graceful, natural charm to shaded borders and woodland gardens.

This North American native perennial works beautifully in shade gardens, wildflower meadows, pollinator plantings, and naturalized areas. Its early-season blooms offer a valuable nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects, while its compact habit suits rock gardens and edging along woodland paths.
