Shooting Star (Dodecatheon meadia) 3-pack of pots
Can’t be shipped.
We aren’t “sold out”—we just don’t have any Shooting Star this year. They take two years from germination to sale. We might next year if germination is good in spring and the plants grow well. Very slow to get started from seed.
Spring blooming flower for sunny and semi-shady locations. Long stems rise above thick foliage, with flowers that look like shooting stars. This is a spring ephemeral—it goes dormant during the summer. Shooting Star takes 2-3 years to bloom. The 2nd year plants Shooting Star plants we have for sale are shipped with green leaves which will go dormant after a month or so, usually flowering the next spring.
Also available in 12-packs of plugs here

Design Tips
Shooting star blooms in spring and then goes dormant for the rest of the summer, so make sure to plant other flowers and grasses close by to fill the now empty space. Plant near borders and among summer or fall blooming plants that can fill the gap when it goes dormant.
Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
