Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Deep pink silver dollar-sized flowers with black anthers over luscious foliage on a plant that is so rare that its on the federally endangered list. I've grown it in full sun and in full shade for years and it always performs well. It seems to favor the sunnier location a tad. Easy to propagate from seed or division. There are several other Marshallia species that I am evaluating and hope to introduce shortly.
