Shooting Star Plant
Shooting Star Plant is a spring-blooming wildflower characterized by its unique, upside-down, nodding flowers with petals swept back, resembling an asteroid's tail, often found in meadows and woodlands. The blossoms on a plant droop from delicate stalks in the form of stars. These five-petaled blossoms come in white, pink, purple, and rose and are around one inch long. A single, dark green style converges to a point at the bottom of the flower, and a group of yellow stamens surrounds the upwardly reflexed petals. The pollinators these flowers attract add to the tropical feel of your lawn. Because the blooms retain their pollen, birds can have difficulty getting to them. These flowers are also known to be resistant to deer.
Add Dense Foliage With Shooting Star Plant
The smooth, lance-shaped leaves of these flowers can be any shade of green, from emerald to grayish. Each leaf can grow up to 2.5 inches wide and six inches long, which provides dense foliage. These leaves have a heart-shaped vein in the middle and a crimson base. Basal leaves, borne on lengthy stalks, are a distinguishing feature of the flower. They especially stand out from the rest of the woodland's vegetation in the spring. When planted in clusters, their varying heights and hues make for a spectacular show, mainly when planted with other species.
Extend the Seasonal Appeal of Your Yard With Shooting Star Plant
Shooting Star Plant's distinctive blooming habit and eye-catching blossoms can add year-round seasonal beauty to your garden. They typically bloom each year in mid-to-late spring. A rosette of leaves grows at the flower base in April, and the blossoms appear in late April and early May. Throughout the summer, they keep their vibrant display of pink or red blossoms and bloom abundantly. Even during the winter, the arching branches of these flowers can add visual interest to your lawn.
Create a Focal Point With Hanging Baskets With Shooting Star Plant
With Shooting Star Plant's gently cascading growth pattern, the flowers elegantly flow over the edges of hanging baskets. Their colorful, star-shaped flowers make for an excellent focal point in garden design, creating a rich and verdant show. Even when they aren't blooming, their glossy green foliage looks great in hanging baskets. Most of these flowers start blooming within their first year of growth.
