Growing Tips & Maintenace
- Best grown in a moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil in partial shade. When planting, the crown must rest at or slightly above the surface to ensure survival. Mostly found in damp grasslands, high alpine meadows and occasionally in open woodlands. In the wild, dodecatheon goes completely dormant when the flowers finish, usually midsummer, so to mimic its natural habitat, avoid heavy moisture during this time.
Note
Additional Notes
- Native to parts of North America. (Apparently not Ontario.)
