Claytonia virginica
Common names include Springbeauty and Virginia Spring Beauty.
A low-growing, early spring-blooming perennial native to the woodlands of the eastern half of the United States and Canada. It produces clusters of white flowers striped with dark pink that provide nectar to bumblebees and other native bees. They open on sunny days and close at night and on cloudy days. Plants go dormant shortly after the seeds ripen and disappear to the ground until the following year.
The Virginia Spring Beauty grows from a potato-like tuber. This edible tuber has a sweet, chestnut-like flavor when cooked.
Tolerates a variety of soils, but prefers rich, high humus, acidic, moist soils with good drainage.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
