Beautiful delicate native flower
"Plant in a shady location in New Jersey."
It's easy to see how this wildflower got its common name. The flowers are arrayed on a tall stem, they are star shaped, and they're pointed straight down. The whole plant is handsome, with flowers ranging from white to pink, and it’s dependably perennial, even in the coldest climates.
Shooting Star seeds prefers moist, cold stratification. Mix the seed with damp sawdust, vermiculite or sand and place in a refrigerator at 32-36º F for 30 days. This will break seed dormancy and increase the germination rate. Moist stratification is not necessary when planting in the fall.

"Plant in a shady location in New Jersey."
"Since American Meadows' seed packets do not include plant-specific germination instructions (and I was too lazy to look some up), I have had trouble germinating these seeds. However, I did some searching and discovered that they germinate best when sowed on the soil surface and kept at 50 degrees. Most of the other seeds I bought from AM germinated fine (the other two that didn't are apparently also finicky germinators), so I'm sure these seeds will also do well once I stop mistreating them."
