Claytonia rubra, or redstem springbeauty, is a charming little wildflower with thick leaves that I found growing in a lot of the needle litter of the Okanagan.

There's still time to plant Joe Pye! Many natives need cold stratification, but Joe Pye only needs 30 days. We sell seeds now & plants in the spring #joepye #claytonia #claytoniastl #Eutrochiummaculatum #spottedjoepye #coldstratification #nativeplants #natives #nativeflowers
