Plant Profile: Primula meadia

Shooting Star is a wildflower indigenous to North America, characterized by its low rosette of rounded leaves. In spring, it produces long red or green stems that bear unique flowers resembling shooting stars. This plant thrives in moist, well-drained soil enriched with humus and prefers partial shade; it is important to steer clear of areas with poor drainage. By mid-summer, the leaves fade, and the plant enters a dormant phase. It is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, sloped areas, or rock gardens.
