DODECATHEON SEEDS

The Dodecatheon genus, commonly known as Shooting Star, is a charming member of the Primulaceae family. These herbaceous perennials are celebrated for their unique, reflexed petals in shades of pink, lavender, or white, which give the flowers their distinctive "shooting star" appearance. Dodecatheon adds an enchanting touch to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalised settings.

Native to North America, Dodecatheon thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers partially shaded to fully shaded locations. These spring-blooming plants are perfect for creating early-season interest and pair beautifully with ferns and other shade-loving perennials. Species such as Dodecatheon meadia, or Eastern Shooting Star, are particularly admired for their graceful flower clusters and ease of cultivation.

The Dodecatheon genus combines beauty, elegance, and ecological value, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking unique and low-maintenance plants for shaded landscapes.
