Dodecatheon jeffreyi

Dodecatheon jeffreyi is a graceful perennial native to North America, admired for its unique flowers with strongly reflexed petals and prominent dark stamens. The blooms resemble shooting stars falling through the sky, giving rise to its common name, “Shooting Star.” Delicate pink to lavender flowers appear in spring to early summer, swaying gently on slender stems above a rosette of green leaves. It thrives in moist meadows, woodland edges, and lightly shaded gardens, bringing a naturalistic and ephemeral beauty to woodland and meadow-style plantings. After flowering, the plant quietly enters dormancy, reflecting the gentle rhythm of the seasons.
