It will flower the following spring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe early spring plants tend to get the most attention because we so need to see flowers at that time of year. Shooting Stars deserve the acclaim. They are true spring ephemerals of the prairie and savanna; they are completely done with their season and go dormant by mid summer. They have beautiful mahogany colored seed pods that are often not noticed because other tall species have over-topped them by that time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShooting Star can become very robust with a few dozen flowers coming out of each plant, especially in moist, rich soils. Wide color variation naturally occurs in any population of Shooting Star; from purple to pale pink to almost white. This species establishes well and will self seed in semi-dry rocky situations or in the shade of a shrub or small tree.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Land Conservancy of McHenry County Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41891437641892,"sku":"PLANT","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/3427\/4468\/products\/ShootingStar.jpg?v=1646533669","url":"https:\/\/store.conservemc.org\/products\/shooting-star","provider":"The Land Conservancy of McHenry County Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
