Primula meadia
Primula meadia
Shooting star (Primula meadia) is a graceful native perennial that performs best in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It goes dormant in summer heat, so plant it alongside other perennials that will fill the gap. Avoid overhead watering to prevent crown rot and enjoy its nodding, swept-back blooms each spring.
