The Prize!

Claytonia sibirica

Claytonia sibirica is a cousin of spring beauty (Claytonia virginica), a native of the Eastern U.S. But while Claytonia virginica is ephemeral, Claytonia sibirica flowers most of the summer! It prefers a place in moist shade and will self-seed.

This month's contest winner will receive three Claytonia sibirica supplied by Sunshine Farm & Gardens.
