White Shooting Star, Toothed American Cowslip. This is a plant with several distinct populations in the United States and the only shooting star to have consistently white forms. The flowers, which are like creamy white cyclamen flowers are held 5 or 6 to the stem above spreading clumps of fresh green foliage. Each flower has petals swept back from a point of dark stamens with the flower centre ringed with red and yellow (not unlike a goldfinch). They come from moist meadows in Washington and British Columbia in the NE of America. and should be grown in sun or part shade in a reasonable drained moist soil. They are unfussy as to pH. 30cm. Separate populations come from Utah, where the petals can be pink or violet, and Arizona/New Mexico, where the filaments are yellow. These three populations are separated in to different subspecies (subsp. dentatum, utahense and ellisiae).
