Product Description

Virginia Spring Beauty - Claytonia virginica

If you are looking for a great flower for your garden, the Virginia Spring beauty, Claytonia virginica, may be the plant for you. It is a beautiful white flower with darkish pink stripes. Many of these flowers are clustered into a loose bunch. This can be a great way to fill up a gap or other space in your garden that some flowers would not be able to fit in. The Spring beauty is an attractive spring perennial that can quickly grow in large patches if you want it to be the center point of a garden.
In its natural habitat, this spring perennial grows in huge patches underground. The root of this flower was even eaten during colonial times. It was essential for the survival of colonialists during harsh winters where other food was scarce. It is recommended to grow this flower in partly shady places. Rich soils that are usually moist are also ideal growing areas for these flowers. However, the Virginia Spring beauty is a flower that can tolerate growing in most varieties of soil. If you want to improve your local bee population, the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation has listed this flower as one that creates significant value for native bees.


To propagate the Virginia Spring Beauty, you will use corms or seeds.

Once the seeds ripen, you need to make sure you sow them right away. These seeds will usually mature early in the summer. At most nurseries, you will be able to find the seeds or corms you need to grow this flower. If you are looking to cover a hill, accent a walkway, or add some color and coverage to your garden, the Virginia Spring beauty might be the plant for you. Head down to your nearest nursery to get more information about this flower and to see if there might be a Virginia Spring beauty in bloom for you to see for yourself.

Virginia Spring Beauty is hardy in USDA zones 4-9.

 

The Virginia Spring Beauty is shipped bare root.

    Arrived in good condition some of the corms had already sprouted. I planted right away and hopefully we’ll see them this year or next!

    The plants had great roots. They were well packaged. I potted them right away. There is no growth but that is to be expected. They will be planted in the garden soon. I hope to see them in the spring.

    The batch of roots bought last year produced the cutest flower when all was still brown and empty. It’s amazing that these small roots bring forth such beauty. So glad that purchasing bare-rooted plants makes growing easier and more affordable.
