Plant of the month

By Darl Fletcher In Growing Wild

The plant of the month for March is Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica).  In late winter, grass like green leaves begin to emerge from a tuber, which resembles a potato referred to by some as fairy spuds. This spring ephemeral starts blooming in March as a harbinger of spring with fragrant long lasting pinkish white flowers. Spring beauty is a nice addition to woodland gardens, boarders, or anywhere you desire an early bloom.
