About Dodecatheon meadia f. album

Dodecatheon meadia f. album forms tidy rosettes of lance-shaped green leaves close to the ground.

In spring, slender stems rise above the foliage carrying clusters of nodding flowers around 2cm long.

The petals sweep backwards while the prominent stamens point forward. This distinctive structure gives the flowers their well-known shooting-star appearance.

This white-flowered form offers a softer, more subtle look than the pink forms while keeping the same elegant flower shape.
