Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Unlike our two native, extremely ephemeral, East Coast Claytonias, or as they are appropriately known, "Spring Beauties", what you get here is a remarkable little plant that will just flower itself silly. Beginning in early Spring and going all the way through Summer and into Autumn, not only is the foliage supple and perpetual, but the small pink and white striped flowers just keep on a comin'. Self-seeding is welcomed and not a nuisance. Plants get up to about 6" and prefer moist shade.

Growing beautifully in DENSE SHADE, this charming little native perennial can reseed to form a lovely spring-summer blooming carpet under conifers or damp, dark areas. A cousin of the familiar “Miner’s Lettuce”, it bears attractive, shiny, fleshy, spatula-shaped leaves. White to pink “Candyflowers” are borne on racemes for a long period, or for as long as there is moisture, May thru August generally. To 1' x 1'. Reseeds!
