A hardy, upright to sprawling perennial, native to the southeastern United States extending into Mexico. The four petaled flowers are soft pink, making a transition to glistening white toward the center. Flowers open in the early morning lasting only a single day. In many southern regions they often form large breathtaking colonies. Grows in various soils in full sun. A fun variety to grow from seed but takes two years to produce a bloom.
Suggested Use: Disturbed areas, roadsides, rock gardens, mixtures.
Miscellaneous: Often called Buttercup because when smelled, yellow pollen is left on one’s nose. Can tolerate infrequent mowing.
