Candy-flower
Claytonia sibirica
Candy-flower is a delicate woodland perennial that thrives in shaded, moist garden beds and works beautifully as a cool-season groundcover. Its dainty pink-striped white flowers bloom in spring and early summer, adding charm to shade gardens and woodland edges. Keep soil moist and well-drained, and it will often self-seed gently through a garden.
