Native perennial dainty little wildflower with white or bluish flowers with the yellow centers are striking in the late spring when the flowers carpet the ground brightening up a meadow, shady lawn, or woodland 3" high. Harvested from one of my pastures on my property where it grows wild in abundance along with woodland strawberry.

The flowers grow out of small clumps and can be tucked between stepping stones, along the edge of a path, in old stumps, or in the space between the grass in thin lawns.  Spreads through rhizomes and seeds.  Long lived perennial.

Benefits: provides nectar and pollen for native bees, carpenter bees, sweat bees and some butterflies.  Host plant: Spotted Thyris (Thyris Maculata) Moth larvae
