Yellow Claytonia virginica is a rare colour form of the classic Spring Beauty, valued for its bright early-season flowers and ability to naturalize in woodland gardens. Grown from Heirloom, Non-GMO seeds, this perennial thrives in partial shade and cool spring conditions. The plants produce delicate yellow blooms on slender stems, emerging before many other garden species. Ideal for native plant collections, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and shaded borders, this variety spreads gradually to form a soft spring carpet of colour.
